Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake Sells 1 Million Copies In Only 24 Hours Despite Performance Issues

Expert Verified By

The Game Has Sold Like Hotcakes!

Story Highlight
  • Konami has announced that the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake has officially sold over 1 million copies.
  • It achieved this milestone in only its first day despite disappointing performance issues across all platforms.
  • The popular stealth action entry has likely sold even more millions of copies through the rest of the week.

The Metal Gear Solid 3 remake’s launch was both a moment of celebration and disappointment for gamers. Despite being an otherwise excellent reimagining, a plethora of major optimization issues hindered player experience on all platforms.

However, the fan-favorite stealth action game has still performed beyond expectations. Konami has now announced that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater sold over 1 million copies across all platforms despite the optimization hiccups.

Why it matters: The Metal Gear Solid 3 remake hitting this incredible milestone may compel Konami to work on other remakes and mainline projects in the franchise over the years. 

Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake has now officially sold over 1 million copies in its first 24 hours since launch.

As mentioned by Konami, the MGS 3 remake achieved the million-sales milestone in only 24 hours after launch. Therefore, many fans suspect that the sales figure is likely over a million by this point.

The figure counts both the physical and digital sales, with the iconic PS2 remake also being enjoyed by new players and old fans alike.

This achievement reflects the enduring popularity of the METAL GEAR franchise, recognized as one of the most influential in video game history.

Konami is also fixing the bugs and performance issues plaguing the remake through patches.

Regardless, the studio has previously expressed interest in working on more Metal Gear Solid remake projects as long as this remake proves to be a success. And Konami has also hinted at the prospect of a mainline title with the new development team.

Right now, the Xbox Series X is the best platform to play the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake, offering the smoothest experience across all the other consoles. It has extreme frame rate issues across PS5 and PS5 Pro ports. 

Do you think these Metal Gear Solid 3 remake sales will influence Konami to focus on the series’ future, or is the 1 million milestone not that unexpected for this game? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the Tech4Gamers forum.
