As confirmed by Capcom this week, the remake has now sold over nine million copies. That means it sold one million copies within the past three months, which is impressive for a title that came out in March 2023. When compared with the sales of other Resident Evil games in their eighth quarter, Resident Evil 4 remake is actually top of the list – making it the fastest-selling entry in the series yet.
Games industry business development manager Alex Aniel, who is the author of Itchy, Tasty: An Unofficial History Of Resident Evil, crunched the numbers in a post on X where he described Resident Evil 4 remake as the fastest-selling entry ‘by far’.
According to Aniel, Resident Evil 4 remake’s one million sales during its eighth quarter are higher than Resident Evil Village (500,000), Resident Evil 7 (400,000), and both Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 2 remakes (300,000 each) during the same period.
With over nine million sales, Resident Evil 4 remake is also outpacing Resident Evil Village as the fastest-selling entry ever, which had sold 7.9 million in total during the same timeframe. While these updated figures are not yet reflected on Capcom’s official list of its best-selling games, this pace suggests Resident Evil 4 remake has a good chance of eventually becoming the best-selling title in the series.
