Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderhas been out for a few weeks now and according to publisher Electronic Arts, the game has had a fairly strong start.
EA announced today that within its launch window,Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderhas become the best-selling Star Wars game to date when it comes to digital sales. Furthermore, it has also become the publisher’s fastest-selling Star Wars game on PC within this period, too. EA’s return toselling games on Valve’s Steam platformsurely was a big reason whyFallen Orderwas able to reach this milestone.
“On behalf of Respawn and EA, we thank everyone for their support of the studio and the team throughout the development and launch ofStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order,” said Respawn’s Vince Zampella. “Telling a story in theStar Warsgalaxy is a dream come true and the reception from the fans has been incredible.”
It’s worth noting that EA is definitely putting a certain PR spin on things here with this announcement. Clearly, overall sales forStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderdidn’t eclipse the total sold in the launch window of eitherStar Wars BattlefrontorStar Wars Battlefront II, otherwise the publisher surely would’ve said so. When taking physical sales into account, the former games likely had stronger launches overall. Still, with how much more prominent digital sales have continued to become in recent years,Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Ordersetting a new sales milestone here for EA does indicate that the game is clearly getting out of the gate on the right foot.
EA has previously said that it hopes to ship between6 and 8 million copies ofStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderbefore the end of March 2020. We’ll have to wait a few more months though to likely get some more firm numbers to know if that goal is feasible.
