Resident Evil 4 Remake Already Has Most Concurrent Steam Players In Series' History
The Resident Evil 4 remake is off to a strong start on Steam, with over 118,000 concurrent players on launch day.

The Resident Evil 4 remake has already broken records, at least on Steam. On launch day, March 24, 2023, Resident Evil 4 has surpassed 118,000 concurrent players on Steam--the most in the series' history on the platform.
For reference, Resident Evil Village previously had the most concurrent users on the platform, when it peaked at 106,631. This is good news for the Resident Evil 4 remake, as it's been out for less than a day, meaning its all-time peak could climb even higher. While Steam stats are typically updated in real-time (or close to it), we'll have to wait a little longer for console stats and specific sales figures.
