Resident Evil Requiem pulls in 270,000 players in just 2 hours on Steam, beating Village, Biohazard and the Resident Evil 4 remake

Leon and Grace amid the flames.

It's finally here, Resident Evil Requiem is out in the wild, and the wait is over. I was expecting a larger-than-normal reception for this game, considering how much it seeks to do and how great all the reviews have been for it, including ours, but these numbers have surpassed even what I thought Requiem would pull in.

In the last two hours since launch, Requiem has pulled in 267,509 players, with 237,092 still playing at the time of writing. It's an incredible achievement for a Resident Evil game, especially if you compare it to how well recent series additions have done in terms of player count.
