- Square Enix has confirmed that the Final Fantasy series has sold 207 million units.
- It has sold over 3 million units since September 2025 alone, highlighting its popularity.
- After a period of PlayStation exclusivity, the series will once again be multiplatform.
In December 1987, Square (now Square Enix) developed a new IP for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It became an instant hit and was released to the masses in 1990, and soon became one of its most popular series, Final Fantasy.
The studio has now confirmed that the Final Fantasy franchise has sold 207 million units worldwide. This puts it in the same running as some of the biggest ones out there, like Assassin’s Creed, GTA, and more.
Why it matters: The JPRG franchise has a huge fan base; however, it still isn’t as mainstream as the likes of Grand Theft Auto or Assassin’s Creed franchises, so the numbers overall are quite impressive.
Square Enix, in a recent press release, confirmed the 207 million units sold. Interestingly, the franchise has sold over 3 million units since September 2025, highlighting how its popularity is still intact years later.
The last few years in terms of sales have been a bit underwhelming for Square Enix. Most Final Fantasy games were made exclusive to the PS5; therefore, the sales took a hit. The studio is now once again going back to multiplatform releases.
Even the Final Fantasy 7 Remake is set to launch on Xbox and Switch 2, which will give sales more boost. All future franchise releases will be on all major platforms, too, but the studio is often criticized for its unreal sales expectations.
Nonetheless, Final Fantasy has etched its name in the history books as one of the biggest gaming franchises of all time. With the restructuring at the studio, fans expect the quality to become even better for future releases.
