Konami has published its latest sales figures as of March 2026, and the numbers tell a story of two franchises firing on all cylinders.
The Metal Gear series now sits at 66.1 million lifetime units sold. Silent Hill has reached 17.1 million. Both figures represent new milestones, and the timing is no coincidence.
What pushed Metal Gear past 66 million
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater did the heavy lifting here. The remake of Naked Snake's origin story landed well with both longtime fans and newcomers, translating into real sales momentum that pushed the franchise to its current record.
Here's the thing: Metal Gear has always had a dedicated fanbase, but a well-received remake can bring in an entirely new generation of players who never touched the PS2 originals. That appears to be exactly what happened.
The momentum is not stopping there. Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 is on the way later this year, bringing Metal Gear Solid 4 and Peace Walker to modern platforms. Konami has a clear runway to build on that 66.1 million figure before the year is out.
Silent Hill's quieter but significant climb
17.1 million is a smaller number than Metal Gear's, but context matters. Silent Hill went dormant for years before Konami revived it, and crossing 17 million lifetime sales after that long a hiatus signals that the revival strategy is working.
Silent Hill f drove the latest bump. The game impressed critics and fans enough to move the needle on a franchise that had been running on nostalgia fumes for most of the previous decade.
What most players miss is that the Silent Hill revival was always a longer play. Konami is not just selling individual games here; it is rebuilding an audience. The 17.1 million figure suggests that audience is actually showing up.
The bigger Konami picture
These figures come from Konami's official business reporting, covering its digital entertainment division through March 2026. Both franchises benefited from the same basic formula: quality releases that respect the source material.
For players who want to get caught up on either series before the next wave of releases, our gaming guides cover both franchises in depth.
The key here is that Konami has spent the last couple of years proving it can still deliver on these properties. The sales numbers are the scoreboard.
What comes next for both franchises
Metal Gear has Master Collection Vol. 2 arriving this year. Silent Hill has Townfall in the pipeline. Both franchises are heading into the back half of 2026 with commercial wind at their backs and genuine anticipation from players.
Konami's challenge now is sustaining that momentum rather than letting these franchises go quiet again between releases. The sales figures prove the demand is there.
