Resident Evil Requiem passes $500 million in revenue, according to Alinea Analytics

According to the same analysis, PS5 is the biggest platform, with 4 million copies sold and 30% of those sales physical on that platform.
Capcom reportedly started discounting several games eight days before the theatrical release of the new Resident Evil film reboot.

What happened

Eurogamer says Alinea Analytics estimates Resident Evil Requiem at more than $500 million in revenue. This is an external analysis, not a figure confirmed by Capcom. In the information provided, that estimate is tied to the period since launch, but there is no official sales report from Capcom.

The same piece names PS5 as the game’s most popular platform. The cited estimate says Resident Evil Requiem has sold 4 million copies on PS5, with 30% of those sales physical. IGN previously reported, based on the same analyst, that total sales reached 8.5 million copies, with 48.1% on PS5, 43.4% via Steam, and 8.6% on Xbox.

Eurogamer also compares the numbers with earlier Resident Evil titles. The Resident Evil 4 remake is said to have generated more than $600 million after three years, also based on estimates. According to the information provided, that would make Resident Evil Requiem the best-performing Resident Evil game so far, but that remains an analytical conclusion rather than an official Capcom ranking.

Eurogamer also links the sales to Capcom’s discount campaign. According to the article, Capcom began discounting several Resident Evil games eight days before the theatrical release of Zach Cregger’s new Resident Evil film reboot. The site says those price cuts had more impact on sales than the film reboot itself, though the full basis for that claim is not included in the excerpt provided.

Background

The revenue and sales figures mentioned in the available sources come from Alinea Analytics estimates. The provided information does not include confirmation from Capcom, so the numbers should not be presented as official publisher data. That applies to the more than $500 million in revenue, the 8.5 million copies sold, and the platform split.

The comparison between the film reboot and the discount campaign is also limited to Eurogamer’s wording. The source mentions a global opening of more than $108 million for the film, but does not specify how much of that was directly tied to game sales or which Resident Evil titles were included in the promotion. As a result, the core of the report is that Eurogamer cites an external analysis placing Resident Evil Requiem at a very strong commercial performance, without Capcom confirming the underlying figures.
