Capcom has announced that Resident Evil Requiem has passed five million copies sold in less than a week, possibly making it the fastest-selling game in the series, and already giving it a spot in the top 20 best-selling Capcom games of all-time. Resident Evil Requiem wasn't quite able to beat the series' record for the best-reviewed game – although it's still pretty high up there, beating out Biohazard and Village – but it did pretty quickly beat another of the legendary Capcom series' milestones. Capcom announces via a press release that Resident Evil Requiem – which was released five days ago – has already sold over five million copies. And while Capcom doesn't state it in the press release, this is seemingly the series' fastest-selling title, with Resident Evil 6 previously confirming 4.5 million shipped within a few days, Village and Resident Evil 2 remake hitting three million within four days, and 2023's Resident Evil 4 remake taking about two days to sell three million copies. However, despite how impressive of a launch Requiem had, it's still a few million short of Capcom's all-time record, as Monster Hunter Wilds sold eight million copies in three days last year. Even so, Resident Evil may win in the long run, as sales of Wilds somewhat stalled due to its performance issues. Resident Evil Requiem Metacritic score is better than Biohazard and Village, but Resident Evil 4 still reigns supreme Resident Evil Requiem sets series record on Steam with a peak of 260,000 fans here to spend time with "hot uncle" Leon Monster Hunter Wilds has sold 11 million copies, but it's barely clinging to Capcom's best-seller list We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the over five million players who braved the horrors of Resident Evil Requiem.

Five million sales also places Resident Evil Requiem as the 19th best selling game in Capcom history as of right now, beating out the original Resident Evil 2 and placing just below the 2014 re-release of Resident Evil's GameCube remake.
