Key Notes

  • Resident Evil Requiem reached 8.5 million units through September 30, up by 500,000 from the June snapshot.
  • The Resident Evil 4 remake added 1.1 million units over the same period, while the Resident Evil 2 remake reached 20.3 million.
  • Onimusha: Way of the Sword entered Capcom’s million-seller list at 1.7 million units, with no platform sales split disclosed.

Resident Evil Requiem has reached 8.5 million units in Capcom’s latest sales update, while the Resident Evil 4 remake has climbed to 17.1 million. The figures underline how much of the horror series’ business still comes from games released years before its newest installment.

Capcom’s updated Platinum Titles table covers sales through September 30, 2026. Requiem’s total is up by 500,000 from the June snapshot, according to the comparison published by Gematsu on November 9.

The Remakes Keep Finding Buyers

The Resident Evil 2 remake remains ahead of the other Resident Evil entries in this table, at 20.3 million units. Resident Evil 7 follows at 18.8 million, with the Resident Evil 4 remake next at 17.1 million. The original editions and remakes are separate products in Capcom’s reporting.

Resident Evil 4 added 1.1 million units between the June and September snapshots, more than twice Requiem’s increase over that interval. That is a comparison of the reported unit increments, not revenue: Capcom does not provide the prices paid for those copies in the Platinum Titles table.

GameLifetime UnitsIncrease Since June 30
Resident Evil 2 remake20.3 million600,000
Resident Evil 718.8 million400,000
Resident Evil 4 remake17.1 million1.1 million
Resident Evil Village16.2 million400,000
Resident Evil 3 remake14.9 million400,000
Resident Evil Requiem8.5 million500,000

These six entries together added 3.4 million units between the two snapshots, based on Gematsu’s listed changes. That subtotal is our calculation for the games shown above, rather than a figure for every Resident Evil release or the franchise’s total quarterly revenue.

Onimusha Joins the Million-Seller List

Elsewhere in the update, Onimusha: Way of the Sword makes its first appearance with 1.7 million units. Capcom’s table lists it as a September 2026 release, making it a much newer contributor than the long-running Resident Evil catalog.

Monster Hunter Wilds stands at 12.2 million units, while Street Fighter 6 reaches 7.5 million and Pragmata reaches 2.7 million. The table combines supported platforms for each listed product; it does not give a sales split between Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo.

For Requiem, the listed platforms span PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2 and PC. Its official Steam page describes survival horror built around Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy, with both first-person and third-person perspectives available.

The September Cutoff Matters

The newly circulated figures should not be read as live November totals. A game can pass another milestone after the reporting date without contradicting the quarterly list.

Monster Hunter Rise is a useful example. The September table puts it at 19.7 million units, while we reported Capcom’s separate 20 million announcement in October. The two figures describe different points in time.

The same discipline applies to Requiem’s 8.5 million figure. It establishes where the game stood at the end of September, rather than capping its current audience or measuring how many people are actively playing today.
