    2024 has already had a number of major releases, and in that list, Tekken 8 has turned out to be among the most successful. The newest entry in Bandai Namco’s fighting franchise launched last month, instantly being met with widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike, and it’s seeing commercial success to match, to the extent that Bandai Namco says the game’s sales are “better than we’d hoped for at this point”, as shared by journalist Takashi Mochizuki on Twitter.

    During its recent quarterly earnings call, Bandai Namco revealed that Tekken 8 has sold 2 million units worldwide, less than three weeks out from its launch. That means it’s outselling its predecessor by quite some margin, with Tekken 7 having required roughly two months to hit the same sales milestone. Tekken 8’s concurrent user count peak on Steam is also well over twice as high as that of Tekken 7’s.

    On top of that, the game is also outpacing the sales of other major fighting games that have released in recent months. Street Fighter 6, for instance, reached 2 million units sold in roughly five weeks. Specifically in the UK, Tekken 8 sold more than twice as many physical copies upon release as Capcom’s title. Meanwhile, Mortal Kombat 1 hit 3 million units sold a little over two weeks ago, over four months on from its release. 

    In our review of Tekken 8, we awarded it a score of 9/10, saying, “Tekken 8 is a shot in the arm for the series, advancing the story while offering addictive combat, exceptional presentation and a suite of features to attract new and experienced players.” Read the full review through here

    Tekken 8 is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
