Resident Evil Requiemhas become a game that players flock to from the first moment it was released. The new survival game has quickly risen above all existing games, not just of its genre. It received such high ratings from players that it became one of the best games of all time.
Resident Evil Requiem started to take the gaming world by storm with its release on February 27, 2026. Released simultaneously for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC platforms, the production surpassed all previous successes of the series with full marks from both critics and players.
The performance on Metacritic, one of the most prestigious databases in the gaming world, exceeded even the success expected by Capcom. Both digital sales figures and user feedback prove that the series has had one of the strongest launch periods in its 30-year history.
Resident Evil Requiem reached a new peak in the series by reaching a user score of 9.5 on Metacritic. This record was previously held by the original Resident Evil 4 from 2005 with a score of 9.1. This score reached by Requiem made it one of the games with the best user score not only in the series but also in the history of Metacritic. It reinforced its success with the “Extremely Positive” tag in more than 18 thousand reviews on Steam.
The game broke records not only with review scores but also with the number of players. Requiem, which reached more than 344,000 concurrent players on Steam over the weekend, doubled the record of 168,000 of 2023’s Resident Evil 4 Remake. For a single-player production, these figures prove once again how accurately Capcom has balanced horror and action.
