Resident Evil 4 Remake Passes Major Franchise Sales Milestone

Resident Evil 4 Remake Surpasses 9 Million Copies Sold: Capcom Celebrates a Milestone

Capcom's Resident Evil 4 remake has achieved phenomenal success, recently surpassing 9 million copies sold worldwide. This remarkable achievement follows the game's release in March 2023 and subsequent releases of the Gold Edition and an iOS version. The rapid sales growth builds on the game's earlier success, having already reached 8 million copies sold just a short time ago.

The remake, a reimagining of the 2005 classic, follows Leon S. Kennedy's mission to rescue the President's daughter, Ashley Graham, from a dangerous cult. A significant departure from the series' survival horror roots, Resident Evil 4's remake leans more heavily into action-oriented gameplay.

This milestone was celebrated by CapcomDev1 on Twitter with celebratory artwork featuring beloved characters like Ada, Krauser, and Saddler. A recent update further boosted the game's performance, particularly for PS5 Pro users.

Record-Breaking Sales:

Resident Evil 4's sales figures are truly impressive. According to Alex Aniel, author of Itchy, Tasty: An Unofficial History of Resident Evil, the game boasts the fastest sales in the franchise's history. This is particularly striking when compared to Resident Evil Village, which reached 500,000 copies sold only after its eighth quarter.
