Koei Tecmo announced that it has sold over 1 million copies of Dynasty Warriors Origins on all of its intended platforms combined worldwide. The company also added that the demo version of the same game has also surpassed 2 million downloads.
These announcements add more entries to the game’s achievements after Sony Interactive Entertainment revealed that Dynasty Warriors Origins became the most downloaded PS5 game in Japan in January 2025. The milestones also brought the series back to the general spotlight.
As of July 2024, Koei Tecmo had recorded over 22 million copies sold worldwide from all Dynasty Warriors entries released to date. With Dynasty Warriors Origins contributing a million more copies, the series’ overall sales have also increased to 23 million.
The Dynasty Warriors series mostly had its heyday in the PlayStation 2 era. Dynasty Warriors 3, 4, and 5 were noted to have surpassed 1 million copies in Japan on their own. However, subsequent releases on the PS3 and later platforms could not reach the same levels. For example, the PS3 and Xbox 360 releases of Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires had over 430,000 units sold globally in 2009, while Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires—which appeared on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Switch, and PC in 2022—could only reach 280,000 copies sold worldwide as of March 2022.
Dynasty Warriors Origins is readily available worldwide on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
