Capcom continues to enjoy the success from Resident Evil Requiem. In fact, two months after the title cracked the 5 million mark in sales since its February launch, Capcom has revealed that Requiem has now surpassed 7 million units sold across PC and consoles. As such, they threw a little party for the team.
Resident Evil Requiem director Koshi Nakanishi revealed the news (and the event) on his Instagram stories, which included Leon and Grace-themed cakes, as well as an appearance by The Game Awards mastermind Geoff Keighley, who also participated in an “after-party bingo” session.
Predictably, Keighley’s appearance has sparked rumblings that we could could see that in-development story expansion DLC revealed later this summer during the Summer Game Fest, which takes place from June 5 to June 8 this year.
Back in March, Nakanishi stated that the Requiem expansion “will take some time” in terms of its development, but that it would “delve deeper into the world of Requiem.”
The fact that Resident Evil Requiem has continued its torrent pace in sales—adding an additional two million units in two months—puts it alone atop the franchise as the quickest to reach this milestone. According to Alex Aniel, author of “Itchy, Tasty: An Unofficial History of Resident Evil,” the next-closest title in the series to reach 7 million this fast would be 2023’s Resident Evil 4 remake. And even that took just over a year to hit that mark.
What’s even crazier is that Capcom announced that they’ve had to revise their earnings forecast for the year.
“In our core Digital Contents business, in addition to Resident Evil Requiem (the latest title in the Resident Evil series that was released in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026) being met with broad acclaim globally, sales grew for catalog titles from major series due to their steady popularity. Additionally, Arcade Operations, Amusement Equipments, and Other Businesses all performed favorably.
As a result, we expect net sales, operating profit, ordinary profit, and net profit attributable to owners of the parent to all outperform our previously announced forecast.”
Resident Evil Requiem is available now for the Nintendo Switch 2, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series.
