Capcom recently shared the sales of its back catalogue of released titles are at their strongest point in the firm's history, and through another update to its list of Platinum Titles, we can put hard numbers to that claim.

In short, all the publisher's main franchises are pulling their weight, but the consistent sales of past Resident Evil games are just staggering. In the past three months, the series has sold another five million units overall.

The figure is the total sales from the newly updated list of Capcom Platinum Titles, which is a chart of the publisher's best-selling games. Across its many entries, those five million units break down into the following sales numbers from 1st July 2026 to 30th September 2026:

1. Resident Evil 4 — 1.1 million sales (17.1 million total)
2. Resident Evil 2 — 600K sales (20.3 million total)
3. Resident Evil Requiem — 500K sales (8.5 million total)
4. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard — 400K sales (18.8 million total)
5. Resident Evil Village — 400K sales (16.2 million total)
6. Resident Evil 3 — 400K sales (14.9 million total)
7. Resident Evil HD — 300K sales (5.9 million total)
8. Resident Evil Zero HD — 200K sales (5.8 million total)

The rest of the sales that make up the five million total come from multiple versions of Resident Evil 5, Resident Evil 6, and the two Revelations spin-offs.

If you look only at the base game for Monster Hunter World, then Resident Evil 2 is catching up with Capcom's best-selling game of all time. The latter managed 600,000 sales during the stated period, while Monster Hunter World only added 100,000 units to its 22.5 million sales total. If things continue on that trajectory, then Resident Evil 2 will eventually be Capcom's best-selling game in its history.

Of course, these continued sales of Capcom's back catalogue are aided by aggressive discounts during promotional periods. Surprisingly, no Resident Evil games are on sale right now in the PS Store Black Friday sale, but they usually are!
