Final Fantasy XV hits 10 million in worldwide sales

That’s a lot of road trip money

It’s hard to believe that Final Fantasy XV is in the rear-view mirror of the Regalia. This is a game where I once had to create a giant checklist to keep track of all of the demos, cross-media projects, DLC, and crossovers. that Final Fantasy XV sales have hit a new milestone of 10 million units worldwide.

Square Enix “thanks fans for their continued support” for the game. And continued support it has gotten, from a certain point of view! Even as recently as the past few years, there’s been crossovers with other games, including a recurring Final Fantasy XIV event. In a sense, this game refused to die, and earned that 10 million through sheer force of will. I’m not just talking about the cross-media projects either. Two years after launch it came to PC, where it was met with a flourishing modding community. Then it arrived on Stadia a year later.

Final Fantasy XV is polarizing still, I get it. It has what I can only describe as “Final Fantasy VIII energy,” which was also polarizing at the time, and a mixed legacy that endures to this day. Playing through it in a bubble before all the controversy, DLC, and post-launch content delays, I found it to be exceedingly relaxing, among other things. In the eternal “Final Fantasy rankings” debate that’s been (Final Fantasy VI kind of sealed that top spot at release though, and for some, even still): it’ll probably end up somewhere in the middle.
