Tekken 8 continues to outpace its predecessors with 3 million copies sold
Just over a year ago, the much anticipated and long-awaited Tekken 8 finally released to the world, quickly going on to sell over 2 million copies. While the game’s growth has of course slowed down significantly since, Bandai’s latest and greatest fighter is still doing numbers, with the team now confirming that it has sold over 3 million copies.
During the most recent Tekken Talks livestream for the game’s second season, the team at Bandai Namco revealed that Tekken 8 has officially sold 3 million copies. While an impressive figure, this represents an increase of just 1 million copies over the past year, with the title initially selling 2 million copies in its first month.
That said, with 3 million in its first year, Tekken 8 is still ahead of its predecessors in terms of sales, meaning given enough time it could very well beat the current best-selling entry (Tekken 7 with 12 million copies sold).
Due to their continuous support, many fighting games wind up having very long shelf lives, aiding in their total sales figures over the course of many years.
Tekken 8 is a fun and polished fighter which in many ways feels like the best version of Tekken released yet, and so it would not be surprising to see the game continue to sell millions of copies for years to come.
Whether it will eventually surpass its predecessor is yet to be seen, but this does represent a strong start for Tekken 8.
