The latest entry in Capcom’s horror series, “Resident Evil Requiem” (Resident Evil 9: Requiem), is off to a strong start. According to the latest statistics from SteamDB, the highest number of simultaneous online users of this game on the Steam platform has exceeded 344,000, which not only refreshes the historical record of the “Resident Evil” series on the PC platform, but is also second only to “Monster Hunter Wilds”!
This result shows that “Resident Evil Requiem” has shown extremely high market popularity in the early stages of its release. Although there is still a gap compared to the cumulative number of online users of “Monster Hunter: Wilds” of 1.38 million, in the horror action genre, the peak of 340,000 simultaneous online users is already quite impressive. Compared with previous works in the series, “Resident Evil 9” is undoubtedly the strongest one on the PC platform.
Capcom Steam Online Rankings Update

- 《Monster Hunter: World》——33.4 萬

- 《Resident Evil : Village》——10.6 萬
- 《Devil May Cry 5》——8.8 萬
- 《Resident Evil 2 Remake》——7.4 萬
- Street Fighter 6 – 70,000
As you can see, “Resident Evil Requiem” has officially reached the second highest position in Capcom PC history. It is worth noting that the previous generations of remakes in the series have also performed stably, but there is still a clear gap between them and this game, showing that the brand’s appeal is still rising in the new generation.
There is still a market for the horror genre, and the appeal of the series has not diminished
In recent years, the AAA market has been dominated by open world and large-scale action games. As a horror work that focuses on narrative and atmosphere creation, “Resident Evil Requiem” can achieve such online results in the early stages of its release, which proves that the appeal of the series is still stable. Especially as the competition on the Steam platform becomes increasingly fierce, crossing the 300,000 threshold is no small milestone in itself.
Of course, initial online numbers do not equate to long-term sales trends, but judging from its current performance, Resident Evil Requiem has made a strong start to Capcom’s 2026 release landscape.
