Summary
TheResident Evil 4remake has officially passed 10 million units sold. The fourth entry in Capcom’s iconic survival horror series is considered by many to be the best in the franchise, so when its remake came out in 2023, it was no surprise that the title was an immediate critical and commercial success. Two years later,Resident Evil 4is still selling well, as indicated by its latest milestone.
Earlier this year, the remake ofResident Evil 4passed 9 million sold copies, just a few months after it hit the 8 million mark. At that point, it was already the fastest-selling game in the franchise, having sold 6.48 million units in its first year. Those are some impressive accolades, especially considering how popular the series is as a whole, and recent news from Capcom reveals that the game has just set another record for theResident Eviluniverse.
According to Capcom,Resident Evil 4 (2023)has passed 10 million copies and sold faster than any otherResident Evilgame. The company attributes this continued success to the game’s multiple awards and widespread acclaim from both the media and players. It likely also helped that Capcomreleased theResident Evil Remake Trilogybundle in October 2024, giving players a chance to get the remakes ofResident Evil 2, 3, and4in one package, which was a particularly tempting deal for anyone who hadn’t already purchased theRE4remake.
Resident Evil 4 Remake Is the Fastest in the Series to Reach 10 Million Copies Sold
The ongoing success ofResident Evil 4wasn’t the only good news Capcom announced. The studio also revealed thatResident Evil 7and the remake ofResident Evil 2have both passed 15 million units sold. TheRE3remake also hit the 10 million mark. It seems that releasing new versions of its classic games has been an effective strategy for Capcom, which makes rumors of further remakes sound all the more convincing. Recent leaks suggest thatCapcom is working on aResident Evil Zeroremake, and there’s reportedly a new version ofCode: Veronicain the works as well.
As theRE4remake keeps selling, the series may be looking to echo its success in other ways. It’s rumored thatCapcom wantsResident Evil 9to reinvent the franchisethe same wayRE4andRE7did. What that means is unclear for now, but regardless of the specifics, it’s looking like a good time to be aResident Evilfan.
