On Friday, the Capcom title debuted with a peak concurrent player count of 101,726. As noted by Eurogamer, this is significantly higher than Resident Evil 2's 74,024 peak, and over five times more than Resident Evil 7's 18,211, according to SteamCharts.

On Twitch, Village has over 200,000 concurrent viewers at the time of publishing.

Although we're yet to see console sale figures, the PC performance suggests another hit for Capcom in Resident Evil's 25th anniversary year.

The hunger for new games is definitely there.

Not really. Its the franchise growth after the two remakes that made Village become a hit honestly

I think Too Tall Vampire Lady likely is playing a big part in all of this: -

Yep I have it on PC. Great game.

Excellent. I'm enjoying it that's for sure.

Didn't expect it would beat out REmake 2, to be honest. From the 4 hours I've played so far, it's rather well deserved.

But of course. This is an immaculate rendition of Resident Evil in every way. I was so excited about the game that I started watching my old RE animation series movies last night! Can't wait to play more tonight

First time I've been pumped for a release in a long time. More pumped to continue playing the story.
