Resident Evil 4 Remake Hits Sales Milestone

Resident Evil 4 Remake Sales Surpass 9 Million

Capcom's Resident Evil 4 remake has achieved phenomenal success, exceeding 9 million copies sold since its launch. This milestone follows the recent release of the Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition (February 2023) and an iOS version late last year, significantly boosting sales figures. The game's rapid ascent to this sales landmark is hardly surprising, given its predecessor recently cleared the 8 million mark.

The March 2023 remake, a reimagining of the 2005 classic, follows Leon S. Kennedy's mission to rescue the President's daughter, Ashley Graham, from a sinister cult. A notable shift in gameplay mechanics is evident, transitioning from survival horror roots towards a more action-oriented experience.

This sales achievement was celebrated by CapcomDev1 on Twitter, showcasing celebratory artwork featuring Ada, Krauser, Saddler, Salazar, and Bitores Mendez enjoying a game of bingo. A recent update further enhanced the game, particularly benefiting PS5 Pro players.

Resident Evil 4's Unprecedented Success

According to Alex Aniel, author of the fan book Itchy, Tasty: An Unofficial History of Resident Evil, Resident Evil 4 has become the fastest-selling title in the franchise. This is highlighted by comparing its sales to Resident Evil Village, which reached only 500,000 copies in its eighth quarter.
