Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 remake is a huge hit. The publisher has confirmed the 2023 game has sold 9 million copies, with some estimates stating this makes it the fastest-selling Resident Evil game of all time.
Industry analyst Alex Aniel said (via SI) that sales at this level make the Resident Evil 4 remake the “by far, the fastest-selling Resident Evil ever.” Capcom announced that the game had cleared 8 million copies as of mid-October 2024, so it appears sales during the holiday helped boost the game beyond 9 million.
Resident Evil 4 (2023) has sold 9 million copies as of December 19, 2024 😮
That would mean RE4 sold at least 1 million copies last quarter (October 1 through December 31), which would be the game’s 8th quarter overall.
This makes RE4, by far, the fastest selling RE ever. https://t.co/S7q7afU8aV— Alex Aniel (@cvxfreak) January 6, 2025
Resident Evil is far and away Capcom’s biggest franchise by sales volume, with total sales exceeding 163 million units. The next closest is Monster Hunter (105 million).
