Tekken 7 has surpassed 9 million sales, making it the highest selling title in Namco's long running series. PS1 classic Tekken 3 held the record previously, sitting at 8.36 million copies. Impressive!
Tekken 7 has had, by far, the longest running post-launch support of any Tekken game, which has obviously helped maintain sales since its console launch in 2017. It's also enjoyed a very healthy competitive scene since day one, which is a real boon when it comes to making a fighting game feel relevant over a period of years.
Hopefully, this level of success means that Bandai Namco gives the seemingly inevitable Tekken 8 a big budget. We still love Tekken 7, but it is starting to feel a bit dated. The aforementioned Tekken 8 is heavily rumoured to be in development.

One day the perfect article will come along for the tagline to be Tekken The Piss
@nessisonett Should have used it for that ridiculously overpriced definitive edition reveal. A real missed opportunity.
@ShogunRok you can use it with Tekken 8 🤣
@Kidfunkadelic83 A truly dark day.
One of the most fun fighting games of the past decade, IMO. I'll never forgive them for the blurry mess that is the X1 version, what a waste of my big fight stick - ended up buying a PS adapter for it just to play a non-blurry version of the game though.
Very happy that it keeps selling. It's like every other month it sells another million (and we get another article), despite the fact that it's nowhere to be found in most(?) charts.
Here's to 10m!
Tekken is also the only fighting game I enjoy (other than Naruto games). Everything else simply doesn't work for me for some reason.
Probably my least favorite Tekken and it's not even for the game itself (although it's horribly outdated) but the business practice of a having a bunch of season passes and a absurd definitive edition. I do hope a new Tekken Tag is close by though 🤞
After the plentiful amount of custom content in TK5, 6, Tag Tournament 2, T7 was seriously lacking. But it was decent one to play... still impressive how Tekken 3 held the record for over 2 decades.
First Tekken in a long time I couldn't really get into, still think 5 is the best followed by Tag 2, but it's good to see it selling well. Hopefully Tekken 8 isn't far off and more importantly, hopefully PS5, Xbox Series and PC only.
"Tekken 7 is the best!"
Change my mind.
@Gamer83 Why PS5, Xbox Series and PC only? Stop stealing all the good stuff from Last-Gen just like you did with Gotham Knights and the new Test Drive!
@streetzman
Want to start seeing what these games can be without weaker hardware holding them back. I'd be saying the same if I didn't have a PS5 and Series X. Two years into a new gen, time to see what the consoles can do.
I WANT TEKKEN 3(the PS1 Version) ON PS5!!! I loved that game on the PS1 & it's probably the only fighting game I have liked really(not a big fan of them much)
Tekken 3 the highlight of the series and Tekken 7 my most dissapointing one i bought.
@Juanalf I cant agree more with you if i wanted the new generation is already brainwashed so they dont know better then this.
@Gamer83 Still a pretty douchebag move on WB Games part.
