Capcom confirmed in an official press release that Resident Evil Requiem has surpassed 6 million units sold across physical and digital storefronts, just under two weeks after its February 27, 2026 launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The publisher also used the announcement to tease upcoming plans tied to the Resident Evil franchise's 30th anniversary.
A Record-Breaking Launch for the Franchise
Resident Evil Requiem had already set a remarkable pace in its opening days. The game sold 5 million copies within its first week alone, a figure that already stood out as extraordinary for the series. Crossing 6 million by the two-week mark confirms that momentum has not slowed, and Capcom now officially recognizes it as the fastest entry in the Resident Evil franchise to reach that sales threshold.
Here's the thing: no previous entry in the long-running horror series has moved units at this pace. That includes entries from the modern era of the franchise, which had themselves set strong sales records.
The 6 million figure covers combined physical and digital sales across all platforms, not PS5 exclusively, per Capcom's official press release.
30th Anniversary Plans Taking Shape
Alongside the sales news, Capcom pointed to the franchise's 30th anniversary on March 22, 2026, as a key moment for upcoming announcements. The publisher outlined several confirmed plans:
- A collaboration between Universal Studios Japan and Resident Evil Requiem scheduled for 2026
- Orchestral concerts planned across Japan, the US, and Europe
- Additional anniversary celebrations described as being in preparation
Capcom noted that more details may be shared publicly around the anniversary date itself, so fans will want to keep an eye on official channels toward the end of March.

What Comes Next for Requiem
The sales milestone arrives as Capcom prepares a post-launch content roadmap for the title. Already confirmed for Resident Evil Requiem are:
- A Photo Mode update arriving post-launch
- A new bonus game mode dropping in May 2026
- A premium story DLC described as an expansion that goes deeper into the world of Requiem
The key here is that the story expansion positions Requiem as a long-term investment for players, not just a one-and-done experience. Free updates will keep the base game fresh while the paid narrative content gives returning players a reason to come back.
With the 30th anniversary approaching and post-launch support confirmed, Capcom appears set to keep Resident Evil Requiem in the spotlight well beyond its launch window.
