After surpassing 3.5 millions copies sold in just three days since its launch, Square Enix has announced that the Final Fantasy VII Remake has now sold over five million copies worldwide. This new record for the game combines physical and digital sales.
According to Square Enix, digital sales have accounted for a large part of the game’s 5 million sales. In fact, the Final Fantasy VII Remake is now the highest-selling
digital release on the PlayStation platform in Square Enix’s history. The game’s high digital sales record is likely in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic which affected physical game copy distribution in select regions.

5 million sales is a lot, especially considering that the game has only been released for around four months, not to mention that it has only been released on the PlayStation 4 so far (as it’s a timed exclusive for one year).
Aside from being a commercial hit, the Final Fantasy VII Remake is also a critical success as it received positive reviews from publications all over the world. In our review of the Final Fantasy VII Remake, we called it a great reimagining of an iconic title.
