Capcom shipped 2 million copies of Resident Evil 3 in 5 days

The Resident Evil franchise continues to deliver strong results for publisher Capcom. In a press release today, the company confirmed it shipped 2 million copies of Resident Evil 3 Remake in its first five days. That includes sales of the survival-horror adventure on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, as well as all copies shipped to retailers.

That 2 million number ensures that Resident Evil 3 is another hit, but it also puts it just behind the pace of Resident Evil 2’s remake from 2019. Last year, Capcom announced that remake shipped 3 million copies in its first week. You can also see that slight disparity in the launch-day numbers on Steam. Resident Evil 2 had 74,000 peak concurrent players on Steam at its debut. The new game, meanwhile, hit 60,000 concurrent at its peak.
