New mobile game Resident Evil Survival Unit has surpassed 1 million downloads in just 24 hours. The free-to-play strategy title launched on Tuesday, Nov. 18, and quickly climbed Apple’s App Store charts. Resident Evil Survival Unit topped charts in over a dozen regions around the world and nabbed the No. 2 spot on the U.S. App Store’s Top Free Apps list.
The official Resident Evil Survival Unit account on X celebrated the momentous occasion with a sentimental post and a bonus for players:
“1 Million Download Milestone!

“We’d like to share a special Promo Code with everyone.
“Redeem it now! Promo Code 1M SURVIVORS *This promo code is valid until May 17th, 2026 at 07:59 AM. (PDT)”
The promotional code shared on social media — 1M SURVIVORS — allows mobile gamers to redeem free in-game rewards.
Resident Evil Survival Unit generated some buzz long before it landed on digital storefronts. According to PocketGamer, Resident Evil Survival Unit generated more than 2 million pre-registrations ahead of its launch. Registrants around the globe documented their interest via Apple’s App Store and Google Play.
About Resident Evil Survival Unit
The free-to-play mobile strategy game isn’t a Capcom-developed project despite sharing its name with the beloved horror franchise. The new mobile offshoot, created by Korean studio JOYCITY and published by Sony subsidiary Aniplex, stars a nameless protagonist rather than a recognizable lead like Leon or Jill. Survival Unit incorporates mobile-friendly mechanics that encourage on-the-go gameplay; players must build bases, complete puzzles, strategically coordinate missions, and stay alive with the help of a few familiar faces.
A word of advice? Don’t add this app to your device expecting the same Resident Evil gameplay you’re used to. Resident Evil Survival Unit is made with mobile gamers in mind — namely, those using iPads and tablets, according to the game’s App Store listing. This download is likely up your alley if you’ve only got room on your plate for non-committal games. Intermittently check in on your crew and send them on missions, but from the backseat.
