Resident Evil Requiem sets record highs on Steam

Resident Evil Requiem was already off to a good start with critics but it also appears to have been a huge day-one success with PC gamers as well. When the new game unlocked last night, player-counts shot up to almost 300K. 

With a peak concurrent player count of over 275,000 on Steam (via IG), Resident Evil Requiem now has the biggest PC launch of any of the mainline games or remakes. For reference, this is 200K more concurrent players than the peak for Resident Evil 2 Remake, and a little more than 100K more than Resident Evil 4 Remake.

Resident Evil Requiem has launched today to a wave of positive reviews from fans and critics alike. The game successfully marries memorable action moments with the tense survival horror vibe of Resident Evil 7.

Resident Evil Requiem is available now for PC and consoles. An AMD graphics driver update is available for Radeon GPU users. Nvidia had also released a driver for this launch but had to pull it from circulation due to bugs.
