Tekken 7 has reached yet another milestone in its quest to become the best selling Tekken title. The PlayStation 4 brawler has smashed its way to 7 million copies sold, which is, as always, very impressive for a fighting game these days. The last sales update that we received was in September last year, so it's taken just seven months to shift another million units.
To help celebrate, the developer has once again added to its character artwork, which you can find at the top of this article. It now includes the most recent DLC fighters, Kunimitsu and Lidia.
It's safe to assume that Bandai Namco never envisioned this level of success for Tekken 7. The game's on its fourth season pass, and professional tournaments still draw a decently sized audience on websites like Twitch.
Tekken 7 is now closing in on the sales record set by Tekken 3. The PS1 classic remains the series' biggest seller, with Bandai Namco previously stating that it had moved 8.36 million copies on Sony's inaugural system.
Of course, the question now is whether Bandai Namco should continue supporting Tekken 7, or whether it should just move on to the inevitable Tekken 8. It's easy to forget that Tekken 7 is around six years old now, starting with a limited release in Japanese arcades. It arrived on PS4 in 2017.

This calls for a celebration, Bandai Namco should party it up by releasing a ultimate edition with everything on PS4/PS5 🎉
Love the artwork!
Ah Tekken 3. The first and best tekken game I've played. IMO they haven't added any meaningful characters since Eddy, Hwaorang and Xiaoyu. New Tekken 6 and 7 characters are especially blah.
Congrats! Played it for a bit and enjoyed it. It just didn't wow me like Tekken 3 (and to an extent 4 and 5) did, I'm afraid.
Absolute owned. Tekken 7 is awesome and got better from DLC to DLC.
Seems everyone is having a nice time and a good party - except for Anna Williams who's obviously looking for trouble as she's only gone a brought a bleeding Bazooka with her!
And yet still no team battle mode 😔
So depressing Tekken is one of my all time favorite series Tag 2 was sensational and bombed while this half-baked "live service" sellout is one of the highest grossing Tekken's ever :’{
@Juanalf Im totally up for it but please no crappy voucherfest like SF5 but i do miss the character specific endings.
This is great. I recently played Tekken 7 for the first time and enjoyed it. It was a refreshing change of pace from Street Fighter V and Mortal Kombat 11, which are my go-to fighting games.
