Square Enix’s HD-2D remake of classic 1995 SNES RPG LIVE A LIVE launched for the Nintendo Switch in July, and as has been the case with the publisher’s past HD-2D outings, the game was met by generally solid reception from critics and players alike. Unsurprisingly, it seems like that’s been reflected in its sales as well.
As reported by Gematsu, in a recent livestream celebrating the original LIVE A LIVE’s 28th anniversary, Square Enix announced that the Nintendo Switch remake has now crossed 500,000 units in global shipments and digital sales.
LIVE A LIVE’s solid commercial start doesn’t come as too much of a surprise. At launch, the remake sold over 71,000 units in Japan in its first few days on sale, while also enjoying decent debut in the UK. It should be interesting to see how long the game’s sales can maintain their momentum.
LIVE A LIVE is available exclusively on the Nintendo Switch.
