As Resident Evil Requiem Passes $500m Revenue, Analysis Shows 8.6% Sales Were on Xbox, With Remaining 91% Shared Between PS5 and Steam
Alinea Analytics says the game has sold 8.5 million copies, with PS5 accounting for 48.1% and Xbox just 8.6%.
- Alinea Analytics reported that Capcom's Resident Evil Requiem has surpassed $500 million in revenue, selling 8.5 million copies globally and outpacing every other entry in the franchise.
- Sales are heavily skewed toward Sony's PlayStation 5, accounting for 48.1% of copies sold, while Xbox consoles captured just 8.6% of the 8.5 million total units.
- While the title approaches the $600 million lifetime total of the Resident Evil 4 remake, sales highlight Xbox's ongoing struggles against Sony's dominant PS5, which shipped 95.3 million units this generation.
- Although Zach Cregger's film reboot earned over $108 million worldwide, it generated only a modest boost to daily Resident Evil player counts, failing to significantly drive game sales.
- The results mirror skewed pre-order trends seen for GTA 6, reflecting broader disparities in the current console market between Sony and Microsoft platforms.
