Ace Combat 8: Wings of The Liberation—referred to by outlets as Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve—has surpassed one million copies sold in roughly a week after release, according to publisher Bandai Namco announcements cited by multiple outlets. The game is reported to be the fastest entry in the long-running aerial combat series to reach that milestone.
The coverage is largely aligned on the record-setting sales speed and the total figure, with outlets describing Ace Combat 8 as the series’ quickest to one million copies. While some headlines characterize it as also approaching the series’ highest-rated release, the core point across sources remains the same: the latest installment achieves the franchise’s fastest one-million-sales mark shortly after launch.
