Square Enix revealed via a musical theater announcement that the Final Fantasy series has now sold over 180 million copies worldwide. The page reads as follows (via Google Translate): “Since its first release in 1987, the legendary role-playing game series ‘Final Fantasy’ boasts over 180 million shipments and downloads worldwide.”

This is an updated statistic, which last stood at 173 million in March 2022. Since then, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, the PS4 and Nintendo Switch versions of Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster, and FF16 have all been released. FF16 had sold three million copies as of June 28, 2023, meaning it's likely the biggest contributor to the series reaching this latest sales milestone. It also means that the entire Final Fantasy series has sold just as well as Grand Theft Auto V!
It will be interesting to see how that number grows in the coming months. FF16 was released in June, which means it could sell even more copies on PS5 and potentially come to PC in the coming months, giving the title even more players.
