Metal Gear is one of the most enduring video game franchises on the planet. According to Konami's latest company profile report, Metal Gear Solid has sold approximately 63.3 million copies across all platforms as of June 2025. Such a high volume of sales across only 11 game releases is quite a feat, especially with the last big Metal Gear game releasing 10 years ago with 2015's The Phantom Pain. The last update that we had made was 2 years ago, where MGS sales were at 60 million.

Konami is poised to release the new Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater MGS3 remake later in August, and it's possible that Delta could push total franchise sales by 1-2 million units at launch. With two Metal Gear releases in the last couple of years--The Metal Gear Solid Master Collection and the aforementioned MGS3 remake--the company seems highly invested in the series.
