Resident Evil Requiem is not slowing down. According to Push Square, Capcom's latest entry in the long-running survival horror franchise has now crossed the 7 million copies sold milestone, cementing its place as the fastest-selling game in the series' history.
The title launched in late February and hit the ground running from day one. That kind of sustained commercial momentum is rare in the industry, where most games see their biggest sales spike in launch week before trailing off sharply.
For Capcom, this is a continuation of a remarkable run with the Resident Evil brand. The series has been one of the publisher's most reliable performers over the past several years, but Requiem appears to be operating on a different level entirely. Hitting 7 million so quickly suggests strong word-of-mouth and player retention beyond the initial hype cycle.
The survival horror genre has seen a resurgence in recent years, and Capcom has consistently been at the forefront of that wave. With Requiem now outpacing every previous entry in terms of sales velocity, it raises the bar significantly for what the franchise can achieve going forward.
No additional details about platform breakdown or regional performance were included in Push Square's report, but the headline number speaks for itself. Seven million copies is a major commercial success by any measure, and the framing of "insane momentum" from the outlet suggests the pace hasn't noticeably cooled since launch.
Whether Requiem receives post-launch DLC or expansions to keep players engaged remains to be seen, but Capcom will almost certainly be looking to capitalize on this install base while the game is still top of mind.
