This is a '''list of ]''' (including ], ], and ]) that have sold or shipped at least one million copies. This is a list of ] (]s for ], including those running ], ], and ]) that have sold or shipped at least one million copies. If a game was released on multiple platforms, the sales figures list are only for PC sales. This list is ''not'' comprehensive because sales figures are not always publicly available.


Sales from digital distribution outlets such as Steam are also not taken into account. Subscription figures for ]s such as '']'' or '']'' are also not taken into account as they do not necessarily correspond to sales. Subscription figures for ]s such as '']'' or '']'' and number of accounts from ] games such as '']''<!--Furthermore, any citation should state strictly PC sales --> are not taken into account as they do not necessarily correspond to sales.

Video games
Platforms
Genres
Lists
Development
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

This is a list of personal computer games (video games for personal computers, including those running Windows, macOS, and Linux) that have sold or shipped at least one million copies. If a game was released on multiple platforms, the sales figures list are only for PC sales. This list is not comprehensive because sales figures are not always publicly available.

Subscription figures for massively multiplayer online games such as Flight Simulator or Lineage and number of accounts from free-to-play games such as Hearthstone are not taken into account as they do not necessarily correspond to sales.

Notes

  1. Although Minecraft was first publicly available on May 17, 2009, and the 1.0 version on November 18, 2011, the first version of Minecraft which required a paid account was first publicly available on December 23, 2009, therefore it started accumulating sales in that year.
  2. This excludes the 1.2 million copies given away as part of Blizzard's World of Warcraft annual pass offer.
  3. Published by Chucklefish between 2016–2018
  4. Subscribers are not the same as sales; many Asian markets use a different business model that does not involve retail copies. As such subscriber figures do not equate to sales figures.
  5. Final Fantasy VII:
    • 1998 physical Windows release – 1 million
    • 2013 digital Steam release – 1,136,100
  6. Sales preceding official Steam release
  7. The game was first officially released on October 17, 2018, on steam (labelled as the "1.0 release"). However, between November 4, 2013, and October 17, 2018, it was publicly sold on Ludeon Studio's website as an open pre-alpha/alpha/beta.
  8. Sold a million copies under the name of H1Z1 while in early access. Not to be confused with the H1Z1 battle royale game by the same company.
