Overview
- Alinea Analytics estimates the PC version sold about 425,000 copies in its first week, lifting the sequel’s total beyond 2 million across PC and PlayStation 5.
- The figures come from third-party analysis reported by Eurogamer and PC Gamer, not from Sony or Kojima Productions.
- Analyst Rhys Elliott says the PC debut also sparked a fresh bump in PS5 purchases by putting the game back in front of new audiences.
- Player engagement on PC appears high, with an average of 18 hours in the first week and a sizable share already over 20 hours, according to Alinea’s Steam-based readout.
- Alinea notes the port arrived only nine months after the PS5 release, which it calls the fastest move for a recent PlayStation exclusive to PC, following a brief pre-launch leak caused by unencrypted Steam files.
