Capcom had reported that the Resident Evil 3 remake sold 2 million units worldwide in April 2021. This was merely 5 days after the release of the game; digital purchases accounted for about half of the sales.
It is worth noting that the original Resident Evil 3 sold 3.5 million copies for the PlayStation.
The game critically did not perform as well as the remake of its predecessor. This is because of the fact that there were a significant number of scenes and content missing from the remake that was featured in the original version of the game.
