The game reached the top spot of App Store’s Top Free Charts in more than 15 countries and regions, including Japan, the U.K., France, and Germany, along with the No. 2 position among all free apps in the U.S.
To celebrate 1 million downloads, all Resident Evil: Survival Unit players can redeem the promo code “1M SURVIVORS” via the official Promo Code Redemption Site to earn free rewards. The game’s official website has more detailed information about the free reward items.
Resident Evil: Survival Unit is available on Android via Google Play Store and iOS via App Store in 151 countries and regions worldwide, with additional territories to follow in 2026.

Previously, a cinematic trailer for Resident Evil: Survival Unit confirmed that Japanese rock band QUEEN BEE is performing the theme song “Mountain Hunt,” with vocals by Avu-chan. The trailer was produced by Quebico, the studio behind the full 3DCG animation Resident Evil: Death Island. As described by Aniplex, the song portrays the tension between creatures and characters as players seek survival.
Resident Evil: Survival Unit was playable for the first time at Tokyo Game Show 2025 from September 25 to 28 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. Fans had the opportunity to try out playable demo of the Resident Evil mobile game at the game’s Capcom Tokyo Game Show 2025 booth. An original neck strap was given away to players who tried the game at the convention as well.
