The celebrated RPG franchise Octopath Traveler, developed and published by Square Enix, has achieved another significant milestone in its successful journey since debuting as a Nintendo Switch exclusive in 2018.
This week, Square Enix confirmed that the Octopath Traveler series—including all mainline entries and spin-offs—has officially shipped and digitally sold a combined total of seven million copies worldwide. This announcement, shared via the franchise’s official social media channels, encompasses both physical and digital game sales across all platforms.
To commemorate the occasion, Square Enix released a specially commissioned illustration by artist Maika Minami, featuring a vibrant theme inspired by the number seven, as a gesture of appreciation to fans.
In the company’s statement, the development team expressed gratitude, remarking on the impressive sales achievement and thanking the global player community for their continued support. Reaching seven million copies marks a substantial leap from the previous milestone of six million, which was revealed in December 2024.
The latest increase is largely attributed to the December 2025 launch of Octopath Traveler 0, the newest installment now available on Nintendo Switch, the upcoming Switch 2, and additional platforms.
This most recent entry in the series has not only reinvigorated interest among existing fans but also attracted new players to the franchise thanks to its enhanced mechanics, signature HD-2D visuals, and classic turn-based gameplay. Octopath Traveler 0 has received high praise from critics and fans alike.
Many reviews, including our own, celebrated the game’s refined narrative and engaging combat, awarding it nine out of ten stars.
A demo version of Octopath Traveler 0 is also available on the Nintendo eShop, allowing players to experience the opening chapters with the added benefit that progress from the demo seamlessly carries over to the full retail game. Since its inception, Octopath Traveler has stood out as a JRPG series renowned for its nostalgic aesthetic, compelling storytelling, and innovative design choices.
Square Enix’s dedication to evolving the franchise while honoring its roots has played a crucial role in its sustained commercial success.
As the Octopath Traveler brand continues to thrive, the series’ steadily growing sales figures underscore its position as a modern classic in the genre and a major accomplishment for Square Enix and the Nintendo Switch platform.
