Resident Evil is celebrating its 30th anniversary, an occasion marked by a massive sale on Steam. This, coupled with a general surge of interest in the iconic horror franchise, has led to a significant resurgence for the series, and we’re seeing an unexpected reflection of that today.
Resident Evil 3 Remake, originally released in April 2020, is currently available at a staggering 90% discount as part of the 30th-anniversary celebrations. This dramatic price drop, combined with heightened enthusiasm for Capcom’s thrilling zombie adventures, has propelled Resident Evil 3 to its highest concurrent player count on Steam in years.
On Sunday, a remarkable 20,363 concurrent players were recorded for Resident Evil 3 on Steam. This figure is approximately five times higher than the game’s typical player count since its initial launch period in April 2020. In essence, Resident Evil fever is currently at its peak, and Capcom’s continued success shows no signs of slowing down.
