Information about high demand has appeared online: physical editions are sold out in a number of stores, and the publisher is facing difficulties in supplying new copies. Many players are still waiting for their discs.
The release on Steam turned out to be a great success. At the time of publication, a record of 267,509 concurrent players has been set on Steam alone. This is the best result in the history of the series and an indicator of the scale of interest in the premiere.
The first reviews are also encouraging: Resident Evil Requiem has a "very positive" rating — 85% on Steam. Judging by the start, Capcom has released not only a commercial hit, but also a game that fans really liked.
