Over a million Switch owners have bought the worst mainline Resident Evil game ever<p>
Resident Evil 6 has sold surprisingly well on the Nintendo Switch since it was ported to the console in 2019, despite it being almost universally panned by fans of the series. As spotted by <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:1;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="

RE6 just got added to <a data-i13n="elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:2;pos:1" class="no-affiliate-link" href="

https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/business/million.html#tab5">Capcom[/url]’s Platinum Titles list, meaning it’s crossed the threshold of one million units sold. It sits at number 117 on the list, with a million downloads for the Switch (but not any other platforms).</p>

RE6 stands out as a convoluted action game next to the titles that came before it, marking a dramatic shift away from survival horror. It has
a lot going on, but not so much of the things people actually love about Resident Evil games. It’s gained some defenders over the years, though, I’ll give it that. Capcom brought
Resident Evil 6 to the Switch in October 2019 and bundled it with
RE4 and
RE5 in the
Resident Evil Triple Pack that was released around the same time, which surely helped its sales. </p>
