Read excerpt

Resident Evil special: Requiem passed $500M, but has the movie impacted franchise sales? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Resident Evil Requiem, which launched at the end of February, is a behemoth. It’s just passed $500M. Revenue-wise, it’s outpacing every other game in the franchise and will certainly leapfrog the Resident Evil 4 remake’s $600M+ when all is said and done.Requiem is also another hit in Capcom’s greatest run of its 46-year history, having sold a record number of games last fiscal year and openly targeting even more this year. Part of that success is Capcom’s strategy around catalogue sales and disc

Wardogs had a better Steam launch than Helldivers 2 and Arc Raiders (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Within a week of its early-access launch, Wardogs has sold 2.2M copies on Steam. It’s even outselling two other modern $40 heavyweights on Steam, Arc Raiders (1.7M by this stage) and Helldivers 2 (about 1M). These games kept their momentum for quite some time, and Wardogs still has a way to go, but still.This is an outstanding performance for a studio launching a shooter in 2026, especially given that Bulkhead was facing financial turmoil not even a year ago.
