At 8.5 million units sold, Tomb Raider’s 2013 reboot is the franchise’s top seller

Lara’s big comeback proves to be even more successful than initially expected.

Crystal Dynamics says that its recent reboot of the Tomb Raider series was the franchise’s best-selling game yet. It has sold more than 8.5 million copies worldwide since its early 2013 release when it initially launched on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The subsequent release of an improved port for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One last year, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, helped push it to this sales record. The action-adventure franchise originally kicked off in 1996 as a key title for the PlayStation, and it has since sold 40 million copies worldwide.
