Metroid Dread has now sold 2.9 million units.
The record was previously held by 2002’s Metroid Prime with 2.84 million units sold.
The new figures comes fromNintendo’smost recent earnings call.
(ThanksNintendo Life.)
It was also the most pre-ordered game post-E3 2021 at GameStop.
Metroid Dread had its highest-selling physical game launch in the UK.
Including digital copies, it quickly became the fastest-selling Metroid game in that region.
Another 2.63 million sales came from other regions across the world.
This isn’t surprising sinceNintendo reported that it was restarting development on the oft-delayed game.
