The report confirmed that the survival-horror franchise, which began in 1996, has now surpassed 200 million units sold.
Requiem, the most recent Resident Evil title, has sold a staggering 6.91 million units since its February 2026 launch. 2009’s Resident Evil 5 is still the bestselling entry in the series at over 19 million, with the 2019 Resident Evil 2 remake gaining in at just over 18 million.
