Expert Verified By

Fastest Entry In The Series To Hit This Mark!

Story Highlight
  • Capcom announces that Resident Evil 4 has now sold 10 million copies.
  • It’s the fastest entry in the franchise to do so.
  • Overall sales for the franchise now stand at 167 million.

The Resident Evil franchise experienced a noticeable decline in the 2010s before gaining momentum with a wave of remakes. Since then, the series has been thriving, with Capcom revisiting classic titles and reintroducing them to modern audiences.

Resident Evil 4 was the latest to receive this treatment. While the original was already considered one of the franchise’s best, the remake raised the bar even further. Capcom recently updated the game’s sales figures, revealing it has now surpassed 10 million copies sold.

Why it matters: For a game to sell 10 million copies in less than 2 years of its release is a huge achievement. The Resident Evil franchise continues to boom and showcases its longevity.

Additionally, Capcom has updated the sales figures for Resident Evil 7 and the Resident Evil 2 remake, both of which have now surpassed the 15 million milestone.

Total sales for the franchise have climbed to an impressive 167 million units, further cementing Resident Evil as one of the best-selling video game franchises ever. Capcom has stated that they’re committed to delivering these highly entertaining experiences.
