- Resident Evil Requiem has sold 6 million units and is the fastest-selling game in the series.

- It generated over $200 million in revenue on PS5, compared to PC’s around $167 million.
Resident Evil Requiem has been an absolute blast for Capcom, already selling 6 million copies since launch, and becoming the fastest-selling game in the franchise. However, it seems that its biggest platform in sales wasn’t Steam.
According to a report, PS5 was the biggest platform for Resident Evil Requiem, generating over $200 million in revenue. Notably, the number of units sold was higher on Steam, but the revenue was larger on PS5.
Why it matters: Resident Evil is one of the few long-standing franchises that haven’t lost its quality over the course of so many years. In fact, it keeps on growing and better, even better, with time.
Alinea Analytics has dropped its latest sales report, indicating that Requiem is nearing 3 million units sold on the PS5, and was the top-selling game on the platform in March. It sold more on PC, but the revenue was lower than $167 million.
Crimson Desert also had notable sales, as it took the 3rd spot, but the RPG’s primary platform is Steam. However, Requiem’s sales highlight the point that consoles aren’t dying, at least the PlayStation isn’t going anywhere.
There have been debates that consoles might die in the future, but amid the ongoing memory crisis, one would even argue that they could be your best bet. Unfortunately, Sony is substantially increasing the PS5 prices.
This might make it a less ideal deal, but it will still remain a primary console. The PS6 is already rumored to be launching somewhere in late 2027 or 2028, and could be priced around $700, if it is subsidized.
