Whether you’re still getting a buzz from the current remaster/remake Renaissance or you’re about sick of it now, there’s no denying it’s done the likes of Capcom wonders. Just over a year ago, the studio/publisher releasedResident Evil 4and given its huge success, it’s not surprising it’s sold well.
According to arecent reportfrom Capcom itself, the remake ofRE4has now sold over seven million copies worldwide. The game is close to its one-year anniversary, having been released on June 16, 2025, so this seems like a nice early birthday present.

The report goes on to say that the modern take onResident Evil 4was “lauded” by fans for “offering a fresh gameplay experience that carefully recreates the appeal of the original.” Not that Capcom is patting itself on the back or anything.
A global horror phenomenon
With over seven million units shifted in the space of twelve months, this shows how theResident Evilbrand is still a force to be reckoned with in the survival horror genre.
In fact, the series on the whole has shifted more than 154 million copies since the first game way back in 1996. That’s according to figures from July 05, 2025, andRE4‘s success will no doubt have now added to this.
With the game currently on aSteam salewhere you’re able to get it for 25% off – not to mention theVR experiencethat was released at the end of last year – we’re probably going to see those numbers go up.
We also saw the arrival of theSeparate WaysDLCthat dropped in September, continuing the Ada Wong storyline that was a pretty big hit with the originalRE4.
