Resident Evil Requiem has already damaged Steam participant rely data for its whole franchise, regardless of solely being a number of hours outdated at time of writing.
A fast take a look at the franchise’s SteamDB figures reveals that Resident Evil Requiem has already achieved a peak participant rely of 319,392, and since we’ve not technically reached the weekend but, I would not be shocked if that quantity grows between now and Sunday night.
Requiem’s peak Steam participant rely simply dwarfs the collection’ subsequent hottest installment, specifically the Resident Evil 4 remake, which achieved a peak participant rely of 168,191 upon its launch. Requiem hasn’t doubled that fairly but, however I would be shocked if it did not cross that line.

It is value noting that this determine is not the identical as gross sales, though primarily based on Requiem’s staggering reputation, it is seemingly that Capcom is about to announce a fairly spectacular gross sales determine for the sport in its first few days.
