Video Game Sales Figures: Every Official Publisher Number (2026)

The best-selling video game with an official figure is Minecraft, at over 425 million by its publisher’s own count, and this page lists every other game whose publisher has put a sales number in writing: 295 games from 60 publishers, each with the figure as reported, the date it refers to and a link to the document it comes from. Nothing here comes from a sales tracker or an estimate site; if a number has no publisher or developer behind it, it is not on the page. The newest figure below was reported on Nov 12, 2026, and we add a row whenever a publisher reports one, so this is the page to check before you quote a sales number anywhere.

Two things to know before you read the tables. Publishers count in different ways: Nintendo and Take-Two report sell-in, which is copies shipped to stores plus copies sold digitally; Sony usually reports sold-through, which is copies players actually bought; Japanese publishers often say “shipments and digital sales”. Each row’s source column says which, in the publisher’s own words. And every figure is a floor: publishers announce round milestones and then go quiet for months, so a game that “passed 5 million” in March has sold more than that today. For the ten biggest numbers with the story behind each, see our best-selling games of all time list.

Latest official figures

The most recent figures publishers have reported, newest first. A figure appears here the day its publisher announces it.

Every game with an official figure

One row per game, biggest first, across every platform and every edition of the same game. A remake, sequel or spin-off with its own name has its own row. Where a game is covered on this site, its name links to our guides for it.

100 million and up

20 million to 99 million

5 million to 19 million

1 million to 4 million

Under 1 million

Series totals

Publishers also report whole-series figures, which are not the same as one game’s sales: the Red Dead series total includes two games and their re-releases. These are listed separately so nobody mistakes a series for a game.

Reported in players, not copies

Some publishers report players rather than copies. A player count includes free trials, subscriptions, Game Pass, free weekends and free-to-play downloads, so it cannot be compared with the sales figures above, and we keep these rows apart for that reason.

Where the numbers come from

Nintendo publishes the most complete tables of any publisher. Its investor relations site lists the top-selling titles for each of its platforms, in millions of units as of the end of each quarter, and updates them with each quarterly result in early February, May, August and November. The figures are sell-in, they include digital sales, and they include copies packed in with hardware, which is why Wii Sports and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are as large as they are.

Take-Two gives per-game figures in the investor presentation it posts with each quarterly result on ir.take2games.com, in units sold-in, for Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, Borderlands and NBA 2K, and it is the only source for Rockstar’s numbers.

Capcom keeps a Platinum Titles page listing every Capcom game that has passed a million copies, with its cumulative figure, updated quarterly, and a companion page of series totals. It is the most detailed per-title list any publisher maintains.

Sony Interactive Entertainment announces milestones for its own studios’ games on the PlayStation Blog and in its press releases, usually as copies sold-through to players, which is a stricter count than sell-in.

Microsoft reports Minecraft through Xbox Wire, where the game’s milestones are announced, and Bethesda posts its own, such as Skyrim’s, on bethesda.net. CD Projekt states The Witcher and Cyberpunk figures in its quarterly results. Square Enix, Sega, Bandai Namco, Koei Tecmo and Konami announce milestones in press releases, most often as shipments plus digital sales, and rarely update a figure after the launch window.

Independent studios announce milestones on their own sites, in their Steam news posts and on their social accounts. We use a social post only when the account is plainly the studio’s own, and we link the post itself.

What never counts: sales trackers and estimate sites, retail charts that give no units, analyst estimates, leaks, and figures that exist only in a news article with no publisher document behind them.

How we count

Publisher figures only. Every number on this page is one the game’s publisher or developer reported, on the date given, and nothing else. Where a number has been reported by a licensor rather than a publisher (the Tetris Company’s lifetime counts for Tetris, for example) it is noted in the row or left out, because a licensor’s total adds up every publisher’s versions at once.

One game, every platform and every re-release. Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe count together, as do Skyrim’s editions and The Witcher 3 and its Remastered edition. A sequel, a spin-off or a remake with a new name is a separate game.

The latest figure wins. When a publisher reports a new number, the row changes to it and the date moves with it. Older figures stay in our records, so the history of a game’s milestones is never lost, and a figure never goes backwards.

Free-to-play downloads are out. Fortnite, PUBG Mobile, Pokemon GO and Roblox have no paid copies to count. PUBG: Battlegrounds counts only the copies Krafton reported before it went free on January 12, 2022.

Bundled copies count the way the publisher counts them. Nintendo’s tables include copies packed in with hardware, and the rows say so.

Players are not copies. A player figure goes in its own table and is never ranked against sales.

Dates matter. “As of” is the date the figure refers to: the end of a quarter for an investor table, or the day of the announcement for a press release. A figure with an old date is not wrong, only old, and it stays until the publisher gives a newer one.

If a publisher has reported a figure that is missing here, or we have a number wrong, tell us through the contact form with a link to the publisher’s document and we will add or fix it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best-selling video game of all time? Minecraft, at over 425 million by its publisher’s own count. Our best-selling games of all time list ranks the ten biggest with the story behind each number.

Are these figures sales to players or shipments to stores? It depends on the publisher, and each row’s source column says which. Sell-in (Nintendo, Take-Two, most Japanese publishers) counts copies shipped to retailers plus digital copies sold. Sold-through (Sony, usually) counts copies players bought. For a digital-heavy game the two are close; for a boxed launch, sell-in runs ahead for a few months.

Why is a game I expected not on the page? Because its publisher has never put a sales figure in writing, or has only given a player count, which sits in its own table. Many big games have no official number at all: Activision reports Call of Duty as a series, Ubisoft reports players, and Valve reports nothing. We never fill a gap with an estimate.

How often is this page updated? Whenever a publisher reports a new figure, usually the same day, and after each quarterly round of results from Nintendo, Take-Two, Capcom and CD Projekt, when their tables move.

Where can I check a publisher’s own figures? Nintendo’s software sales tables, Capcom’s Platinum Titles and Take-Two’s investor presentations are the three publisher pages worth bookmarking. Every other row links the specific document it came from.
