Resident Evil 7 is now the highest-selling game in the franchise.
According to new figures released by Capcom and spotted by PC Gamer, the delightful tales of Jack and Marguerite Baker are now the company’s second-biggest title ever, selling 7.9 million units since its release three and a half years ago.
There’s still some way to go until it tops the leader Monster Hunter: World – that’s shifted more than twice what Resi 7 has, selling 16.1 million in just a couple of years by comparison – but the latest figures confirm that not only has Resident Evil sold more than the shiny remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3, but also that of their original 90s counterparts, too.
