Resident Evil 4 Remake was always going to be popular. It was comfortably the most anticipated overhaul in Capcom's makeover project, given the original is one of the best games of all time. But I hadn't anticipated just how popular it would prove to be. This week, Capcom announced that not only has Resi 4 redux sold 10 million copies, it's the fastest game in the entire series to do so.
Capcom revealed the news in a press release on its Japanese website. While Resi 4 Remake is the quickest game to hit the 10 million mark, it's still behind Capcom's other recent Resi games in terms of raw sales at present. According to Capcom, Resident Evil Village has sold 11 million units since 2021, while both Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 2 remake have sold over 15 million copies apiece. These figures, Capcom says, means it has "successfully executed its long-term catalog sales strategy."
