In contrast, Resident Evil 2 Remake only recorded around 74000 concurrent players. launched in January, it also managed to sell over three million copies within its first week. And yet, its highest number of concurrent players has been surpassed by DMC5 on its first day.
Having been released on 8 March 2019, the end of this week will be when we get a chance to see DMC5’s first week sales figures. It will be interesting to see if this will be Capcom’s second-fastest selling game, behind Monster Hunter: World. The latter of which recorded an excess of 330000 concurrent players during its launch.
