Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 Remake has sold another 1m copies over the past three months, for a total of 6.48m units sold worldwide.
This makes it the fastest selling Resident Evil title “by far” – a stat tracked by Alex Aniel, writer of Itchy Tasty: An Unofficial History of Resident Evil – although the game still sits behind the likes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil: Village in terms of total sales to date.
In its recent consolidated financial results, Capcom said these more recent Resident Evil 4 sales have been supported by “ongoing promotional measures” such as free updates for the PlayStation VR2 version.
Capcom is yet to update its list of Platinum Titles – in which the developer documents its games that have sold over 1m copies – for this quarter. However, this most recent Resident Evil 4 figure could nudge the remake above Street Fighter 2 on the list (assuming sales on that particular Street Fighter title have remained static).
