Just like every Final Fantasy game on Playstation these days.

Not bad considering they gave the game away for free less than a year after it released and then gave away the PS5 upgrade for free.

 

[kazuyamishima]

They put the game on PS+ just 11 months after release and the 1-year exclusivity on EGS.

Congrats to SE, FFXVI is heading there.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Happy to have contributed to this number by buying the game twice!

 

[YukiOnna]

Nice! Hopefully FFXVI hits 5M soonish.

Those don't count as sells, maybe they should go by players or engagement or how many times players pressed square.

 

[ByWatterson]

FFXVI feels like it will almost certainly pass this. Probably at about 5 right now? Then some sales and PC?

SQUARE: We're broke!
ALSO SQUARE:

BOMBA!

Bought it digital then physical a couple years later lol, will probably buy it again if the twin pack has a physical release.

Oh yeah I know, I was just making the point that selling 7million copies for a game that was available for free less than a year after release is very good.

The game has also been available under PS+ for quite some time.

So they would have made money from the 7mil copies, merchandise, exclusivity deals with Sony (12months then an extension), PS+, Epic store exclusivity. Must have made them a nice chunk of change hence why they increased the budget for Rebirth.

 

[Astral Dog]

Well deserved, its a pretty good game, and FFVII Rebirth looks to be even better in every way

 

[TheInfamousKira]

See? They're dying on the vine

2.87m players were chosen to get fucked by Don Corneo

6.2m players were confused about their sexuality after seeing Cloud in a dress.

Who doesn't want to know about these great engagement stats?

 

[Plies]

So, like half of what Starfield sold?

 

[Nubulax]

So, like half of what Starfield sold?

Starfield sold 14 mil copies already ... damn

 

[Madflavor]

Isn't this kinda....underwhelming? The last update on sales we had for FFVII:R was 5 million in August 2020. So with the next gen Intergrade version and 3 additional years, they only managed to sell 2 million more?

 

[ZehDon]

I was one of them, but the remake was a major disappointment for me. I won't be buying the next instalment.

Not releasing a Switch version was a major missed opportunity for SE.

PC version released between then and now as well.

Inter grade was given away for free, I got it on PS Plus, so no.

 

[Plies]

The "shipped AND sold" always gets me.

Why?

It has to be shipped before you can sell it

 

[kazuyamishima]

Mmmm..... yeah nah.

I think the lack of Xbone/Xbox Series, and releasing it 11 months after launch on PS+ alongside the EGS 1 year exclusivity hurt them.

 

[Crayon]

I honestly feel bad for not buying it and playing it on the sub. Not because the need the money but because I was so sure it was going to suck so hard that I was practically scared to try it. Turns out it's amazing. I've actually been junking it on my second playthrough for the last week.

 

[Ozzie666]

Is that good enough for the suits and shareholders? Seems like a good number.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Mmmm..... yeah nah.

I think the lack of Xbone/Xbox Series, and releasing it 11 months after launch on PS+ alongside the EGS 1 year exclusivity hurt them.

They got money for both those things tho but the epic move was indeed trash.

 

[StereoVsn]

Bought it digital then physical a couple years later lol, will probably buy it again if the twin pack has a physical release.

If twin pack has a dual game case and a manual or whatnot, I will get it. If they bundle it with stupid statues for $300, forget about it.

 

[StereoVsn]

Epic move was annoying as hell. Hopefully Steam release will hit PC at same time as Epic now.

500,000 players bought the game just so they could leave negative reviews on Steam
