The total sales across the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series have topped 5 million copies worldwide, Square Enix has announced.
Taking to X/Twitter, Square Enix said Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster's success had pushed sales for the entire Final Fantasy series — that's all Final Fantasy games, not just the pixellated ones — up to a staggering 200 million copies.
Given Square Enix revealed Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster had reached three million copies sold in September 2023, that means the bundle has sold another two million copies in around 18 months.
Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster bundles together the first six Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster games as well as a 20-track soundtrack and 14 wallpapers. The bundle boasts universally updated 2D pixel graphics, a rearranged soundtrack, modernized UI, and all-new features, including a beastiary, illustration gallery, and music player. You can also switch between the original and rearranged soundtrack on the fly as you play.
The sales milestone comes six months after Square Enix made its dissatisfaction with Final Fantasy 16 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s commercial performance known, admitting neither game met profit expectations. Final Fantasy 16 sold 3 million at launch, but Square Enix has yet to provide an updated figure. The company failed to announce a sales figure for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's launch, but Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's subsequent PC launch has done so well it may have changed the feeling internally on the game's overall performance.
