Capcom's latest installment in the blockbuster survival horror series, Resident Evil Requiem, has recorded the biggest launch in the history of the series on Steam. At the time of publication, about 240,000 people were playing this game, and on the night of its release, the maximum number of simultaneous players reached 320,056. This number surpasses the maximum number of concurrent users of Resident Evil RE:4, which was released in March 2023, of 168,191, and the 106,631 of Resident Evil Village in 2021, making it the highest number in the history of the Resident Evil franchise on Steam. In addition, it can be read that the overall sales of this work are quite strong. Of course, this number is only a small part of the total number of players who have started flooding Raccoon City. The PC version is also available on the Epic Games Store, and the console version is also available on Nintendo Switch 2/PS5/Xbox Series X|S, so there are actually many more players than this. "Resident Evil Requiem" received 9 points in the IGN JAPAN review. It has been described as "the culmination of RE:2's fusion of horror and RE:4's exhilarating action, representing the fundamental fun of the series." It also scored 9 points in the IGN US review. "Like the product of an experiment conducted in an underground Umbrella laboratory, 'Resident Evil Requiem' brilliantly joins together the two strains of survival horror into a new and highly infectious variant."
