Capcom has announced that Resident Evil Village has surpassed 5 million copies shipped worldwide, including digital copies sold. In a news release, Capcom said Resident Evil Village reached 5 million units shipped faster than Resident Evil VII, which went on to become the highest-selling Resident Evil game of all time with 10 million sold. So if Resident Evil Village can keep up its sales pace, it has a chance of itself becoming the new best-seller.

In reaching 5 million units shipped, Resident Evil Village becomes Capcom's 10th best-selling game in the company's history. 1998's Resident Evil 2 sold 4.96 million units and was previously No. 10 on Capcom's all-time top-selling list.

Capcom's best-selling game overall continues to be Monster Hunter World, which has sold more than 20 million copies.
