Resident Evil 4 Remake, an action horror game, has impressively surpassed 10 million copies sold. This news comes from Capcom, the game’s publisher, who shared this achievement on their investor relations page. Notably, it’s now the fastest-selling game in the Resident Evil series.
Launched in March 2023, the remake has struck a chord with both new players and longtime fans by preserving the charm of the original while enhancing the gameplay experience. Capcom highlighted that the game has been met with widespread critical and user acclaim, earning numerous global awards and driving continued sales growth.
