2023’s Resident Evil 4 Remake was under a lot of pressure to impress, but it soon proved itself as one of the standout games of the year and a massive commercial success. It sold so many copies that Capcom confirmed it had reached 10 million units sold, making it the fastest game in the entire Resident Evil series to hit this milestone, accomplishing this feat in only two years.
Compared to the last few games in the Resident Evil series, starting with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard in 2017, both Biohazard and the remake of Resident Evil 2 (released in 2019) have surpassed sales of over 15 million units combined. Resident Evil: Village, released in 2021, has already exceeded 11 million cumulative units sold, while the remake of Resident Evil 3, which came out in 2020, reached 10 million cumulative sales.
For nearly three decades since its debut in 1996, this company has managed to sell a staggering 167 million units of this franchise’s series.
Back in the day, Resident Evil 4 was often praised as one of the best games ever made. With their remake, Capcom managed to set new standards for what a great remake should be. They successfully maintained the game’s original status as a groundbreaking experience within its genre. And let’s not forget about the iconic Ashley memes adding to its popularity!
It’s worth mentioning that Capcom didn’t provide details on how the game’s sales were split between different platforms, physical or digital copies, and so forth. At its launch, the game sold three million units in just two days, later climbing to four million within the first fortnight. This swift sale pace placed it among the fastest-selling Resident Evil games of all time.
