Resident Evil 4 Remake Sells Over 5 Million Units Worldwide; Franchise Sells 142 Million

Capcom has announced that the Resident Evil 4 Remake has sold over five million units worldwide. Additionally, the Resident Evil franchise’s sales have eclipsed 142 million units as of March 31, 2023.

The company attributes Resident Evil 4 Remake’s growth to the free The Mercenaries DLC. More sales are hoped for from the upcoming Resident Evil 4 VR Mode, free DLC compatible with PlayStation VR2.

Four million units were confirmed to have been sold in April of this year.

The game’s development also shared a thank-you message to fans and players in a new illustration and tweet:

Resident Evil 4 Remake features much of the tense horror-action players remember from the game with a “state-of-the-art quality” suitable for 2023. However, the team is focused on preserving the essence of the original game and plans to provide a familiar experience that fans of the series remember.

Further, they offer a fresh new feeling with additional story elements. This is a “reimagining” of the original game’s storyline while keeping the essence of the direction with modernized graphics and updated controls.
