Resident Evil Village, the latest mainline installment of Capcom’s survival horror series that sees Ethan Winters and franchise veteran Chris Redfield battle mutant creatures in a mysterious, snowy European village, has surpassed 10 million units sold since its original release on May 7, 2021, for PlayStation, Windows PC, and Xbox platforms, Capcom has announced. According to the Japanese developer and publisher, RE: Village is the fastest title in the series to hit this milestone, fueled in part by its expanding availability on additional platforms, such as Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro devices.
RE games that have sold over 10 million units now include:
- Resident Evil 7 biohazard
- Resident Evil 2
- Resident Evil Village
Capcom writes:
- “…worldwide sales of Resident Evil Village surpassed 10 million units in the three years since its 2021 release, making it the fastest title in the series to hit this milestone.”
- “…both the release of Resident Evil Village Gold Edition, which includes the main game and additional story content, and expanded support for devices such as iPhone 15 Pro have led to increased unit sales.”
- “Even now, three years after its release, the title continues to gain new users, selling approximately 2 million units each year.”
- “This has resulted in it achieving more than 10 million units in sales, making it the fastest title in the series to reach this milestone.”
