Bandai Namco has announced that Tekken 8, the latest installment in the popular fighting game series, achieved impressive sales figures right from its launch. On the very first day of release, the game sold over one million units worldwide, and within the first month, sales had doubled to surpass two million units. This rapid sales growth marks another achievement for Tekken 8, outperforming the initial sales of its predecessor, Tekken 7. Despite Tekken 7 holding the record for the highest total sales in the series, with over 11.8 million copies sold globally, Tekken 8’s strong start suggests it could be a new favorite among fans.
Tekken 8 was made available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam on January 26. For those interested in trying before buying, a demo version of the game is also accessible. This release not only continues the legacy of the Tekken series but also sets a new benchmark in terms of sales performance for the franchise.
