Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, developed by Virtuos and published by Konami, has sold one million copies within 24 hours of launch. The publisher credits shipments and digital sales for the total, which arrived around its release on 28th Aug 2025, marking a rapid commercial start.
Konami’s announcement, posted in a Japanese press release, notes that the total covers physical shipments and digital purchases and gives no platform split. The statement is available in the Konami press release, which lists one million as the combined figure.
A million in a day is impressive. While precise regional breakdowns aren’t provided, Konami says the number includes shipments and downloads, and industry observers note the title sold strongly at retail in Japan and elsewhere during its opening day. Some players raised concerns about technical performance on specific hardware, and those issues have been the subject of discussion online. Critics generally praised the remake’s faithfulness to MGS3 alongside updated controls and modern visuals.
The launch targeted PS5 and other platforms simultaneously, but Konami did not publish a platform-by-platform split; the reported total therefore covers physical and digital across formats. The developer and publisher are signalling a commercially healthy start for the remake, even as performance patches are monitored.
