Data from Ampere Analysis released on August 12 by journalist Christopher Dring shows that physical copies of Resident Evil Requiem accounted for 55% of sales in France and 51% in Japan, while in the United States the share was 22%.
The survey comes amid Sony's plan to completely abandon physical media by 2028. Capcom recently stated that 90% of its game sales are digital, but the new title's numbers indicate that demand for discs is still relevant in several markets.
