Resident Evil 7 demo outsells PT with 2m downloads

MCV Staff 4th July 2016 Business News

Over two million people downloaded the Resident Evil 7 demo within its first week, beating previous PS4 records.

That includes Konami’s PT, which was the acclaimed ‘playable teaser’ for the since cancelled Silent Hills project. PT was released in 2014 and was downloaded 1m times in a month – although the PS4 install base was considerably smaller back then.

The Resident Evil 7 teaser demo was available to download for free for PS Plus users after the title was unveiled during Sony’s E3 2016 press conference.

Capcom boasts that the demo is ‘now the most downloaded single-player demo on PS4′.

Resident Evil 7 is due on January 24th next year for PS4, Xbox One and PC, with the PS4 version playable in VR.

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
