Metal Gear Solid Delta Underperformed Compared to Silent Hill 2 Remake

Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater Underperforms in Sales Compared to Silent Hill 2 Remake Post-Launch

Konami has released new sales figures for the Metal Gear Solid franchise, revealing initial performance data for Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, the remake that launched in August 2025 on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. While Konami announced that Snake Eater sold over a million units at launch after its modern makeover, there were no further updates on its individual sales performance. In October, Konami announced that the entire Metal Gear Solid series had sold 65.1 million units by September 2025, suggesting Snake Eater had sold approximately 1.5 million copies at that time. The latest figures show the Metal Gear Solid series sold an additional 400,000 copies in the last quarter of 2025. This suggests that, even with sales from other titles factored in, Snake Eater has now surpassed 1.7 million units sold. However, even after four months on the market across three platforms, Delta has not yet reached two million copies sold. This raises questions about the commercial success of Snake Eater when compared to other recent Konami remakes; the Silent Hill 2 Remake, for example, surpassed two million copies in less than three months on only PS5 and PC.
