According to Capcom, among the 2 million units sold, 50% were digital copies, a very high number that the company attributed to its sales plan. Part of this strategy was the launch of the demo “Resident Evil 3 – Raccoon City Demo”, still available on PS4, Xbox and PC, and the beta testing phase of its multiplayer mode Resident Evil Resistance. The commercialization of Resident Evil 3 Remake may also have been affected by the pandemic of the new coronavirus (Covid-19) and the quarantine in force in several countries. Currently, Resident Evil 2 Remake has completed 6.5 million units sold, above the 1998 original that sold almost 5 million copies, and just slightly behind Resident Evil 7 which has sold more than 7 million units. According to recent rumors, Capcom is already in the middle of developing Resident Evil 8 and a remake for Resident Evil 4.
