Already above 5 million ! Crazy.

Care about framerate? ps5 runs mostly locked 60 fps, while S2 hits 60 fps occasionally and can drop as low as 30 fps. For those who don't care about fps, doesn't really matter. But for those who care about fps, the ps5/series x/series s offer much better experience. |
Thanks for the decision aid. I have now ordered a Series X copy (prioritizing physical media and performance). Stock on the game is pretty low at retailers here across platforms, my go-to mom and pop shop was completely sold out for both Xbox and Switch and even the bigger online retailers were sold out or close to sold out (where I ordered apparently it was the third last copy they had, next restock in two weeks).


Given the legs of recent RE titles, this has a shot at becoming one of Capcom's best selling games to date lifetime if it follows the same trajectory.
Currently RE2 Remake is the highest at 16.8m.
Anyway, awesome to see a great game get the sales it deserves.
Resident Evil Requiem boasts biggest series launch ever @ 5 million in less than a week.

Well-deserved because the game is phenomenal.
PSA:
SONY:
If 💳 ≠ OWNING
,THEN
🏴☠️ ≠ STEALING


Now at 6 million, fastest selling game in series history:

7 million now, meaning it has already passed the sales of games like Street Fighter 2 and 6, and the original RE2:

Started the game this week
Grace campaign starts excruciatingly slow, but once you start unlocking upgrades her gameplay truly shines
This new iteration o T virus, with zombies keeping some quirkies of their original selves, was a clever way to both give personality to them, and creating a more sandbox experience on how to tackle them
Leon campaign was feeling a bit underwhelming at first too, but once l I realized he's there to give you the satisfaction of starting a killing spree on zombies you spent the last 3 hours running and avoiding his gameplay becomes much more satisfying
One of the reason why this game is FANTASTIC
"if you idle in the save room long enough Grace and Leon will actually unload their equipped gun. when you leave they reload said gun. there's a special animation for every single gun. this is an INSANE amount of detail for something most people will never see"
