Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Surpasses 1 Million Copies Sold on Launch Day

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Smashes 1M Sales Globally Across Platforms

Despite debates surrounding technical optimization and its steep price, Konami’s Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater sold over one million copies worldwide as of August 28, 2025. This official figure encompasses both physical and digital sales across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Developed in collaboration with Virtuos, the remake preserves the original title’s core elements—story, characters, voice acting, gameplay, and music—while introducing a complete visual overhaul and a modern camera option. An online multiplayer mode, “Fox Hunt,” is set to launch in autumn 2025. The game’s success mirrors that of Silent Hill 2, which also surpassed one million copies sold in just three days. This achievement validates Konami’s strategy of reviving its classic titles with external development partners and should encourage the publisher to pursue more remakes, including the previously confirmed partnership with Bloober Team for a reboot of the first Silent Hill.
