According to the latest report, the remake of Resident Evil 4 has sold twice as much as any other remake this generation.
Numerous games in the last six years have received their own revisions. And quite a few of them recorded successful sales at the level of the original. However, one game topped them all, and that was Resident Evil 4.
According to a report by Alinea Analytics, 2023’s modern day Resident Evil 4 is estimated to have sold in the 16.8 million copies. Of this, the PlayStation 4 and 5 versions had a 47% share of sales, Steam had 43%, and Xbox 10%. Capcom’s title also had strong sales last year, when four million copies were sold thanks to a good discount.
The second best-selling remake, Ark: Survival Ascended, did not manage to reach even half of the sold copies of Resident Evil 4. And in third place was the disputed The Last of Us Part I, which achieved 44.6% of its sales in the PC version – where it was available for the first time.
