Resident Evil Requiem achieved an incredible completion rate one month after its release.
Resident Evil Requiem not only achieved resounding commercial success but also set a new record for the percentage of players completing the main storyline. With over 6 million copies sold, Capcom's game is proving its immense appeal and becoming an ideal model for AAA blockbuster projects costing $70.
Resident Evil Requiem has become an unimaginable success for Capcom. This horror game has sold over 6 million copies worldwide, reaching the highest number of concurrent players for the entire franchise on Steam, and consistently selling out at retail stores.
Not only was the game a commercial success, but it also received rave reviews from critics and achieved the highest user rating in the history of the Resident Evil series on Metacritic.
Players consistently express satisfaction with the game, and the latest data indicates that the vast majority of buyers have experienced the entire storyline. With its reasonable length and excellent pacing, development studios should view Requiem as a perfect example of the balance and seamlessness that a $70 game should possess.
According to statistics from the achievements and titles system, up to 70% of players on PC and PS5 platforms have completed the main storyline of Resident Evil Requiem within just one month of its release. Specifically, on Steam, exactly 70.5% of gamers have unlocked the Rookie Agent achievement – a reward received for completing the game at least on the lowest difficulty level. Meanwhile, this number on the PS5 system also reached 66.9%.
When compared to other AAA titles, these statistics are truly impressive. For example, the blockbuster The Last of Us Part 2 took several months after its release to surpass the 50% completion mark. Clearly, maintaining a playtime under 20 hours and a focus on action-horror elements have greatly contributed to Requiem achieving these remarkable completion rates.
In the gaming industry, a AAA project reaching 50% completion is considered a resounding success. Therefore, Resident Evil Requiem's 70% completion rate is truly a milestone to celebrate. For comparison, Silent Hill F, released last year, only recorded around 40% of players completing the game.
With the next installment, Resident Evil 10, reportedly already in development, fans who just finished Requiem won't have to wait much longer before being immersed in a new main storyline project from this legendary horror franchise.
