In 2023 Final Fantasy XVI was the most downloaded PS5 game in Japan

  • Most downloaded on PS5. Not surprising considering it was the top physical PS5 game by a wide margin.

    It's possible FF16 didn't beat Monster Hunter World's PS4+PS5 2023 digital numbers considering it had only a fraction of the physical sales, and MHW has had a good long tail (FF16's long tail is concerningly bad).

    Too bad we don't have numbers; it's not even clear if FF16 topped 1 million in Japan, which would be nuts for a mainline FF.

    • Yep that was an important part, so I’ve updated the title to add PS5.

      According to this page the sales count is 414,216, nearly 100k more than Gran Turismo 7 (2022) which sits at second. Monster Hunter World (PS4 -2018) sits at 1,965,890.

      As a probably more fair comparison; FFXV has barely topped 1m, and FFVIIR hasn’t reached it yet (both PS4).

      I don’t know how accurate these numbers are so take them with a pinch of salt.

      • Wow FFVII remake has only sold 67k on ps5. I'm curious about the sells of the second remake game, but the ps5 has it very hard on the japanese market.

      • Japanese physical sales numbers are reliable. All the sites that post them come mostly from the same three sources (Famitsu, Media Create, Dengeki).

        At this point, I don't know if we'll ever see digital sales numbers in the market.
