Square Enix announced Final Fantasy VII Remake now shipped over 5 million copies worldwide, digitally and physically. The game is also now the highest selling digital game Square Enix ever developed on a PlayStation platform. Final Fantasy VII Remake is currently a PlayStation 4 exclusive, and launched worldwide on April 10, 2020.

The news was shared both on the English FF7R Twitter and the Japanese one. The Japanese tweet adds more data, claiming that Final Fantasy VII Remake is the first Square Enix PlayStation title to top 2 million digital sales worldwide:

This is definitely great news for Square Enix. Personally speaking, as a gamer who focuses on Japanese games, it's always great to see one get the sales recognition it deserves too.

As you already know, Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a new take on the PS1 JRPG from 1997, a beloved game as it was the first JRPG contact for many players around the world. This is a huge remake project by Square Enix which will span at least one more game. Tetsuya Nomura recently mentioned he'd like to launch the sequel as soon as possible, and make it even better as this first game.
