multiplayer games.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, single-player Resident Evil Requiem has an all-time concurrent peak of 344,214 players on Steam alone, over double that of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/games\/resident-evil-4-remake\">Resident Evil 4 Remake<\/a>, and three times that of predecessor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/games\/resident-evil-village\">Resident Evil Village<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/games\/resident-evil-2-remake\">Resident Evil 2 Remake<\/a>, on the other hand, has a Steam peak of 74,227 players, Resident Evil 3 a peak of 60,293, and Resident Evil 7, 20,449.<\/p>\n<p>That 344,214 player peak is also bigger than the all-time Steam concurrent records of multiplayer games like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/games\/destiny-2\">Destiny 2<\/a> (316,750), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/games\/elden-ring-nightreign\">Elden Ring Nightreign<\/a> (313,593), and Monster Hunter: World (334,684).<\/p>\n<p>Of course, concurrent peaks do not reflect players jumping into the action on other platforms \u2013 or even via other PC stores like Epic Games Store \u2013 so cannot be taken in isolation, but it&#8217;s typically a good indication of popularity. It also shows that Capcom has sold at least 344,214 copies in Requiem&#8217;s debut weekend.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"injection_placeholder\" data-position=\"1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As spoilers popped all over the Internet, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/capcom-issues-resident-evil-requiem-plea-as-leaks-become-a-flood\">prompting Capcom to acknowledge the situation<\/a> ahead of the final weekend before the game&#8217;s launch, Resident Evil 2 director Hideki Kamiya had some choice words for the leakers, suggesting &#8220;they are cursed to never play the game again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is Requiem uneven?
