In an impressive display of popularity, the Octopath Traveler series has now surpassed 6 million units sold worldwide. This milestone, announced by Square Enix, encompasses both physical shipments and digital downloads of the original Octopath Traveler, its sequel, and the latest entry, Octopath Traveler 0. This achievement marks a significant increase from the 5 million units reported just a year ago, highlighting the series’ growing fanbase and enduring appeal. The first Octopath Traveler game alone has sold over 3 million copies, while its sequel reached the 1 million mark shortly after its release in June 2023.

Square Enix’s recent comparison video showcases the capabilities of the Switch 2 by putting it side by side with the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC versions of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade. What stands out is how the Switch 2, despite being less powerful, manages to maintain impressive visual quality, particularly in lighting, which the game’s director Naoki Hamaguchi emphasized as crucial for graphical fidelity. The video, while running at 30 frames per second, highlights subtle differences in texture quality, but overall, the Switch 2 version holds its ground.
