Resident Evil is one of the most beloved franchises in the world of video games, and it has held on to countless games for the last three decades. The first RE game was launched in 1996, which was released on Sony PlayStation, Windows, and Sega Saturn initially after its release.
The first game of the series sold over 5 million copies worldwide. The first real success of the video game series was RE 4, which is still considered the best game of the series and also one of the best horror games in the history of video games. It sold nearly 14 million copies worldwide.
What is the highest selling game in the Resident Evil franchise
As it is widely believed that RE 4 is the best installment of this series, but surprisingly, this is not the highest sold game of this world famous franchise. The fans would instantly jump to the conclusion that if RE 4 is not the highest selling game of this series, then it has to be RE 4 Remake.
RE 4 is widely believed as the most superior version of them all
But to surprise everyone even more, RE 4 Remake is not the highest selling game in this franchise either. Now you might have been really surprised, once you get to know the highest selling game of this franchise, you will be more shocked. This is not any of the famous names but one of the least favoured names of the series.
Resident Evil 2 Remake and RE 7 Biohazard sold 15 Million copies each
Ready to get surprised once again, Resident Evil 5 is the highest selling game of this long running franchise so far. Yes, you read it absolutely right. As of now, this title has sold about 15.3 million copies worldwide, making it the highest selling game of this franchise.

RE 2 Remake and RE 7 Biohazard come next with 15 million sales each. But there are huge possibilities that RE 4 Remake will beat the sales figure of RE 5 and will become the highest selling game of the series. We also hope Resident Evil 9 comes out with another banger, much like its recent instalments.
