Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem has quickly become a bestseller, with five million copies sold in only a few days.
This game has been a huge success for single-player fans, and it’s great to see a return to classic, story-driven gameplay. A big congratulations to everyone who worked on it!
It’s not surprising to learn that seniors are a key part of why this is so popular.
Data from Circana PlayerPulse, analyzed by sales expert Mat Piscatella, shows that about 60% of people intending to buy the game are age 35 or older.
You know, it actually makes a lot of sense when you think about it. It seems like fewer and fewer young kids are into traditional consoles these days, and more are playing games like Roblox and Fortnite on their tablets or inexpensive computers. Plus, this game is definitely for mature audiences – it’s rated 18, so it’s always going to appeal to older players.
The Resident Evil series, while still widely enjoyed today, originally became popular on the PlayStation in 1996. Considering this, many long-time fans are likely between their mid- and late-30s now.
Putting aside specific personal details, we’re curious about your background with Resident Evil Requiem. Are you among the relatively few players under 30 who enjoy it, or do you generally align with the player base described in the Circana data?
