Resident Evil 4 Remake Reaches Big New Sales Milestone

Capcom's Resident Evil 4 remake is a huge hit. The publisher has confirmed the 2023 game has sold 9 million copies, with some estimates stating this makes it the fastest-selling Resident Evil game of all time.

Industry analyst Alex Aniel said (via SI) that sales at this level make the Resident Evil 4 remake the "by far, the fastest-selling Resident Evil ever." Capcom announced that the game had cleared 8 million copies as of mid-October 2024, so it appears sales during the holiday helped boost the game beyond 9 million.

Resident Evil 4 (2023) has sold 9 million copies as of December 19, 2024 😮

This makes RE4, by far, the fastest selling RE ever. https://t.co/S7q7afU8aV
