Square Enix says the Dragon Quest role-playing series has sold more than 100 million units worldwide, marking a milestone reached in time for the franchise’s 40th anniversary. The company presents the figure as evidence of the series’ long-running commercial reach across multiple releases.
Polygon and My Nintendo News both report the same core announcement: Square Enix credits the franchise with crossing 100 million in total sales and ties the update directly to the anniversary. My Nintendo News also includes a message from series creator Yuji Horii to fans, saying the team will continue working to deliver future content. Polygon’s coverage focuses more on the sales milestone in connection with the anniversary, without additional detail beyond the announcement itself.
Across the outlets, the emphasis remains consistent on when the figure is disclosed (during the 40th anniversary) and what it represents (lifetime units sold worldwide), with limited variation in added context beyond creator remarks.
