The Resident Evil franchise, developed by Capcom, has become the company's best-selling series, with its latest release, Resident Evil Requiem, achieving record player counts. Surprisingly, the best-selling title is Resident Evil 5, which sold 19 million units, outpacing the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 2 Remaster at 18.3 million. This revelation comes from Capcom's financial report for 2026, which indicates that sales figures differ from those displayed on their website, as the latter does not account for cumulative sales across various editions. Despite being viewed as one of the weaker entries in the series, RE5's success can be attributed to its multiplayer features and frequent discounts on digital storefronts. Fans speculate that many purchase the game at lower prices to experience the story before trying other titles. While there have been hints at a potential RE5 remake, Capcom has not confirmed any plans, although the strong sales figures suggest it could be a possibility in the future.
