Konami has been slowly reviving the Metal Gear series in recent years, after the departure of series creator Hideo Kojima saw it go on a five year hiatus (eight years, if you discount the much-maligned Metal Gear Survive). 2023 brought the Master Collection Vol. 1, which launched with a few issues but is now an excellent package, but last year was the real acid test: the release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a full-on remake of perhaps the most beloved game in the series.

Delta delivered. Maybe it was a little too faithful at points, maybe there's still that slight hesitance within Konami to really let its creatives loose, but it showed beyond doubt that the studio is still capable of delivering a great Metal Gear game (here's our review). And per a sales breakdown on Konami's corporate website, the audience is clearly still out there for a bit of Snake.

We already knew that Delta sold over a million copies in its launch week, but Konami now says that the series has sold a cumulative total of 65.5 million units. If you want to do some beermat maths, the series had sold 63.3 million as of June 2025, per Konami's own figures. Delta won't be entirely responsible for that 2.2 million jump but, as the only major Metal Gear release in the last year, it's reasonable to infer that the game ended up selling around or just under two million.
