Final Fantasy VII Has Sold One Million Copies On Steam, Final Fantasy XIII Reaches 500K Sold Copies


With the upcoming release of Final Fantasy IX on the PC, we decided to go ahead and take a look at the sales of all Final Fantasy games on Steam. After all, Square Enix has embraced the PC platform, so time to see whether the rumoured Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy XV are worth – financially – coming to the PC.

The most popular Final Fantasy game on Steam is undoubtedly Final Fantasy VII. Final Fantasy VII has sold one million copies on Steam, meaning that there is a market for its upcoming Remake. Question now is whether Square Enix will be able to offer a proper port and not one that is plagued with performance issues and bugs.

The second most popular Final Fantasy game on Steam is Final Fantasy XIII, followed by Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy XIV. Final Fantasy Type-0 HD has sold 100K copies, while Final Fantasy XIII-2 has sold 276K copies. And the recently released Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII has sold 61K units.

Do note that most of the recently released Final Fantasy games on the PC are mere console ports. Yes, Square Enix has added some Steam Achievements, however it did not put a lot of effort into them. Whether these sales figures returned a profit remains to be seen.

From the looks of it, there is a market for both Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy XV. And while we’re certain that both of these titles will find their way on Steam, we are kind of wondering whether their PC versions will be better optimized than Lighting Returns: Final Fantasy XIII PC.
