Acclaimed PS5, PS4 RPG Sequel Octopath Traveler 2 Tops One Million Sales | Push Square
There were concerns that Octopath Traveler 2 may have underperformed, despite it receiving a stellar reception from critics, but news today confirms that title has topped one million units. Obviously, we’ll need to wait and see whether that measures up to Square Enix’s notoriously aggressive targets, but it certainly paints a more positive spin on the sequel’s fortunes – at least for now.
This number is across all platforms, of course, which includes PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The original Octopath Traveler never released on PlayStation platforms – it was a timed console exclusive initially, but did later release on Xbox – however the sequel is a standalone story, and therefore doesn’t require prior knowledge of the previous game to be enjoyed.
