Daily active users of five Resident Evil games reportedly rose 50% around the film’s release

GamesIndustry.biz reports that Sensor Tower tracked a 50% rise in daily active users across five Resident Evil games, from 500,000 on August 30 to 750,000 on September 20. Zach Cregger’s film opened on September 18. Daily game sales rose from 34,000 to nearly 80,000 over the same period, but Capcom’s discounts had already boosted engagement before the premiere. Analysts said brand building may matter more than the short-term sales increase.
