Capcom has announced that Resident Evil 3 Remake has sold 2 million copies worldwide in five days. The new Resident Evil 3 is a reimagining of the 1999 release of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, which went on to sell a cumulative 3.5 million units.
The new game incorporates fresh ideas and utilizes the latest technology, leveraging Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine. In addition to putting a fresh twist on the original’s story and setting, the game boasts new play experiences. Further, the title gives players the chance to enjoy both single player and multiplayer modes. After all, RE3R comes with Resident Evil Resistance.
Moreover, digital versions of the game accounted for nearly 50% of sales due to promoting Capcom’s digital sales strategy. Thanks to this strategy and the free demo, the game’s shipments passed the 2-million-unit mark five days following release.
This achievement comes on the heels of continued sales growth for Resident Evil 2 Remake which now has over 6.5 million sold units.
Capcom is currently working on both Resident Evil 8 and Resident Evil 4 Remake.

And poor Devil May Cry 5 struggled even though it was better and had a lot of content… sad.
DMC was always a niche series
And people wonder why we keep getting sh*t games non-stop…
It was the reputation of the RE2 remake what sold all these copies, most people are uninformed and look only at the brand.
You’re both right.
I bet Covid-19 helped. I hope the next one will be looked on more closely cant pull this twice. Lets vote with wallets.
and bannerlord has sold between 2 to 5 million copies despite the fact that it’s been released only on PC and despite the fact that it is an overpriced (not in my opinion) early access game.
and the point is? Are you making a point that quality games sell despite being overpriced and with bugs?
Nostalgia sales…

digital versions of the game accounted for nearly 50% of sales due to capcom-19
Just another testament to the fact that we are neck deep in the era of stupidity. People don’t even care if they own anything anymore.
Everything can be a “service”, because we can all rest easy that corporations will always have their customers’ best interest at heart.
The collective stupidity of humanity strikes again. Well done.
Capcom says GOTCHA! suckers
feel sorry for all the genuine people that believed they were going to get something like RE2. I can’t imagine buying a linear 6hr game for full $60us. BRUTAL!
well not bad..
