The best-selling Resident Evil games in history

Resident Evil is a saga with the greatest impact on the videogame industry in the last 25 years; Capcom license is one of the most valued by players and its total sales are around 100 million since the first installment in 1996. The saga of terror has gone through different moments of form, with releases not always accompanied by critics, but has always responded at the sales level.

One of his most popular moments of the saga was, of course, in the late 90s, with the emergence of the original trilogy on PlayStation, where he laid the foundations of the survival horror genre. Years later, in 2005 Resident Evil 4 came to GameCube (and later to other consoles) to change everything, turning towards action. Resident Evil 5 and 6 picked up the glove and they bet even more on the shots, and although they did not succeed at the level of criticism, they did in sales, establishing the ceiling of the saga.

After some experiments, such as the Revelations sub-series, we had to wait until 2017 to live the nth reinvention of the saga by Capcom with Resident Evil 7, which worked like a charm in both sales and reviews. After the successful change, Capcom has us in the pocket with the launch of deep remakes of classics as Resident Evil 2, launched this year, and Resident Evil 3, which will arrive in April 2020.

What are the best selling Resident Evil games?

Only a few days ago Resident Evil 3 has been presented to the public, the remake of the game starring Jill Valentine in 1999 and we will see back in 2020, so we believe that there is no better time than this to take a look at the sales of the saga.

This is the updated list with the best selling games in the saga so far, counting the latest sales figures of Resident Evil 2 Remake (released in 2019) recently updated by Capcom.
