Bandai Namco announced that Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 has surpassed 12 million copies sold worldwide, underscoring the long-running franchise’s commercial durability.
Developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 originally launched for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in 2016 and later arrived on Nintendo Switch, bringing the full Storm 4 experience to Nintendo’s platform.
The publisher shared the sales update via its official social channels, noting that the title’s cumulative sales have crossed the 12 million mark.
In plain terms, Bandai Namco stated that Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 has sold in excess of 12,000,000 copies globally.
That total places the game among the best-selling fighting titles of the previous console generation: only Super Smash Bros.
Ultimate and Mortal Kombat 11 have higher lifetime sales totals from that era.
Ultimate Ninja Storm 4’s performance reflects both the strength of the Naruto license and CyberConnect2’s long-standing expertise in translating anime properties to action-oriented fighting games.
The Storm series has been a consistent performer for Bandai Namco, with Storm 4 serving as a flagship entry thanks to its cinematic presentation, large roster and story-driven single-player content.
Availability across platforms — PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch (via the eShop) — has helped sustain sales over multiple hardware cycles.
The Nintendo Switch version expanded the game’s reach to a handheld audience and kept the title discoverable on digital storefronts.
For industry watchers, the milestone is a reminder that well-supported licensed fighting games can continue to generate meaningful sales years after launch.
Bandai Namco’s public update joins other publisher disclosures that map how marquee fighting games performed across the last generation, with Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 now firmly established among the top sellers.
As always, Bandai Namco’s official channels remain the primary source for sales figures and milestone announcements, and the company’s social posts circulated this particular update to fans and media.
