Key Highlights:
- Resident Evil 4 surpassed 7 million worldwide sales roughly one year after launch.
- Capcom credited continued post-launch content and strong reception for the game’s steady sales growth.
- The remake later passed 16 million units by June 2026, becoming the best-selling remake of the current console generation.
The Resident Evil 4 Remake surpassed 7 million units sold worldwide approximately one year after its March 2023 launch.
Capcom announced the milestone on 13 March 2024, continuing a strong sales run for the remake across PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Apple platforms.
The game had reached 6.48 million units by the end of December 2023, meaning sales continued climbing steadily into the following year.
Capcom linked that growth to strong critical reception and continued post-launch support.
Resident Evil 4 received several major additions during its first year. The Mercenaries arrived as a free mode in April 2023, while the paid Separate Ways expansion followed in September.
A free PlayStation VR2 mode launched in December 2023, and Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition arrived in February 2024.
The remake also expanded onto Apple hardware in December 2023 with versions for compatible iPhone, iPad and Mac devices.
Those releases gave Resident Evil 4 new entry points across its first year rather than relying entirely on launch-period sales.
Resident Evil 4 later passed the 8 million sales milestone in October 2024, before Capcom’s official total reached 16.04 million units by June 2026, with the remake becoming the best-selling remake of the current console generation.
The later figures provide useful context for the March 2024 announcement. Resident Evil 4 continued adding millions of sales well beyond its first anniversary.
