After all the hype surrounding its release, Resident Evil Requiem has launched to universal acclaim from both fans and critics alike. The horror game has become the highest-rated mainline entry in the franchise in over two decades, with reviews calling it a fantastic blend of action and horror.
On the commercial front, the Capcom title is selling out across all physical retailers and has also become the franchise’s biggest hit on Steam, reaching the highest concurrent player count in Resident Evil history.
Why It Matters: Resident Evil Requiem has paid off all the anticipation leading up to its release, delivering a brilliantly optimised project with the story and action to back it up.
Resident Evil Requiem has reached a concurrent player count of 267,509 users on Steam, making it the IP’s most successful launch on the platform. The sequel easily overtook the 168k player peak that Resident Evil 4 attained in 2023, just one hour after its launch.
Furthermore, the horror title is currently the most-played single-player game on Steam, only trailing behind Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2 in the overall ranking.
Resident Evil Requiem is also selling like hotcakes on the storefront, reaching the no.1 spot in the global top sellers ranking and propelling other games in the franchise, like Resident Evil 4, into the top 10.
Considering how brilliantly Resident Evil Requiem is optimised for PC, these numbers aren’t a surprise. The game even runs well on lower-end specs, with its PS5 and Xbox Series versions also performing exceptionally, in addition to the stunning and ambitious Nintendo Switch 2 port.
