Resident Evil 2 is the second best launch ever on Steam for Capcom

The launch has been a great success for Capcom

To say Resident Evil 2 has had an excellent launch on Steam would be an understatement.

It obtained the second highest number of concurrent players on the platform in the history of Capcom. With only a few hours after the release of Resident Evil 2, it exceeded 54,000 peak players and with every refresh of the stats, it keeps rising and now firmly positions itself as the second-best Capcom game ever behind Monster Hunter: World.

The love and nostalgia of the RE2 remake has made it crush the previous launch of Resident Evil 7 out of the water, with RE7 only garnering 18,000 concurrent players at launch.
