Resident Evil Requiem Hits 8.5 Million, but a 2023 Remake Outsold It Last Quarter

Capcom has refreshed its Platinum Titles list, the page where it tracks every game that sold over a million, with figures as of September 30, 2026. Resident Evil Requiem is up to 8.5 million. The best quarter, though, belongs to the Resident Evil 4 remake: the 2023 game added 1.1 million copies in July, August and September, more than twice what Requiem did. Onimusha: Way of the Sword made the list at the first attempt with 1.7 million in its first four weeks.

What moved this quarter

Chart: Capcom best sellers July to September 2026, Onimusha 1.7M, Resident Evil 4 +1.1M, Requiem +0.5M

Since the June 30 update, 17 games changed and two are new entries. The short version:

  • Onimusha: Way of the Sword, 1.7M, new entry. Out since September 3.
  • Resident Evil 4 (2023), 17.1M, up 1.1M.
  • Resident Evil 2 (2019), 20.3M, up 600K. That's second on Capcom's entire list, behind only Monster Hunter: World at 22.5M.
  • Resident Evil Requiem, 8.5M, up 500K.
  • Monster Hunter Wilds, 12.2M, up 400K. Devil May Cry 5, Resident Evil 3, 7 and Village, Monster Hunter Rise and Sunbreak each added the same.
  • Street Fighter 6, 7.5M, up 300K. Pragmata, 2.7M, up 200K.
  • Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection from 2020 finally crossed a million too.

Why a 2023 remake outsold the new Resident Evil

Capcom gives no reasons, the page is just numbers. My guess is boring. Requiem launched on February 26, most of its buyers showed up in spring, and it was already at 8 million by June. RE4 costs $40 on Steam against Requiem's $70 before any sale, and Requiem brings Leon back, which is a decent nudge to go replay where his story really took off. The RE2 remake is the same story: seven years old and still 600,000 copies in a quarter.

Requiem is already 14th on the whole list, above Street Fighter V's 8 million, after seven months. Losing one quarter to an older game looks like a new release cooling off, not a flop. What I keep wondering is how long Capcom can keep living off remakes from 2019 and 2023.

Onimusha: a million on day one, 1.7 by month's end

Onimusha: Way of the Sword

Way of the Sword is the first new Onimusha in twenty years, and it started loud: on September 7 Capcom said it had sold a million on launch day. By September 30 it was 1.7 million. So the remaining three and a half weeks brought another 700,000, far slower than the opening day. For a linear samurai action game that is still a good result, just don't expect Monster Hunter numbers.

Pragmata, out since April, sits at 2.7 million after adding 200,000 this quarter. Capcom's new games follow the usual curve, a big launch and then a quiet tail, while the loudest numbers once again came from remakes that are three to seven years old.
