Final Fantasy XV was first released for PS4 and Xbox One on November 26, 2016.

According to the latest figures as seen on SteamSpy, the total number of owners for Final Fantasy XV has now surpassed the one million mark. This makes it the second mainline game after Final Fantasy VII to achieve one million sales milestone on Steam. This doesn’t count Final Fantasy XIV Online because it has a free trial that inflates its owners.
