Tekken 8 Sells 2 Million Copies Worldwide in Just First 2 Weeks

Bandai Namco's latest financial report has delivered a knockout blow with Tekken 8, the acclaimed fighting game sensation, surpassing the two million copies sold milestone within a mere two weeks of its global release. This monumental achievement has soared beyond Bandai Namco's initial projections, solidifying Tekken 8's status as a powerhouse within the gaming industry.

Since its launch on January 26, 2024, Tekken 8 has been captivating players on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms. Its meteoric rise in sales has eclipsed the performance of its predecessor, Tekken 7, which took a full two months to achieve comparable sales figures.

While Bandai Namco's financial performance has seen its share of ups and downs, Tekken 8 shines as a beacon of success amidst the fluctuations. Notably, projects like Blue Protocol have fallen short of commercial expectations. However, Tekken 8's resounding triumph has emerged as a highlight, with sales figures exceeding even the most optimistic forecasts.

According to a report from Bernstein on Bandai Namco's earnings call, Tekken 8's sales performance has been described as "better than we'd hoped for at this point," underscoring the game's unparalleled success within the gaming landscape.
