Digimon Story: Time Stranger has officially crossed a major commercial milestone, with Bandai Namco confirming that combined physical shipments and digital sales have now surpassed one million units worldwide.
The announcement marks a strong showing for the long-running Digimon RPG subseries, particularly at a time when competition in the Japanese RPG space has rarely been more intense. While Bandai Namco did not break down platform-specific figures, the result positions Time Stranger as one of the franchise’s most successful modern entries.

Released earlier this year, Digimon Story: Time Stranger builds on the formula established by Cyber Sleuth, blending traditional turn-based combat with a heavier narrative focus and a larger emphasis on dimensional travel and alternate timelines. That mix appears to have resonated with both long-time fans and newcomers, helping the game gain traction beyond Digimon’s core audience.
Industry observers note that the million-unit figure is especially notable given the game’s relatively modest marketing push compared to Bandai Namco’s flagship properties. Word of mouth, franchise loyalty, and a renewed appetite for story-driven monster-collecting RPGs are widely believed to have played a significant role in the game’s momentum.
Bandai Namco has yet to announce post-launch sales targets or expansion plans, but the milestone all but guarantees continued support for Time Stranger and likely strengthens the case for future Digimon Story entries. With the franchise enjoying a broader resurgence across games, animation, and merchandise, Time Stranger’s performance suggests Digimon remains a valuable pillar in the publisher’s portfolio.
Whether the title can maintain its sales velocity remains to be seen, but for now, Digimon Story: Time Stranger joining the million-seller club is a clear win for both Bandai Namco and the Digimon brand.
