Final Fantasy XV overtakes Remake with five million units sold in that equivalent window from its launch, but it’s a strong start for the new game. XV was multiplatform, too, and its launch was not impacted by a global crisis. Previously, the studio stated that players in Europe and Australia would receive the game earlier than players in the rest of the world. This was owing to the disruptions to international freightage resulting from the pandemic.
It is also possible that the Final Fantasy VII Remake will see a surge of sales once its exclusivity agreement expires. Upon April 10, 2021, the game will become multiplatform, though we aren’t sure which ones. PC code was dredged from the PlayStation 4 demo, and because we know that the remake will be a PlayStation 5 title, it might be an Xbox Series X title, too. Final Fantasy VII Remake will be split into slices, and director Tetsuya Nomura said that he is “confident that playing through this title will expand your expectations just like the world that extends beyond Midgar.”
Final Fantasy VII Remake is out now for the PlayStation 4.
