Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is number one on Steam's US Top Sellers chart. It jumped 55 positions to get there, and it hasn't officially launched yet. Deluxe Edition owners got early access from today, September 28th. Standard edition players can pre-load tomorrow, with the full release coming out on October 2nd. What you're looking at is pre-order and early access revenue from a game most people haven't played yet, which makes this figure even more impressive.
The names it knocked down to get there are worth noting. WARDOGS – three million copies sold, one of the most talked-about launches of the year – is now second. Counter-Strike 2, which has been charting for 737 consecutive weeks, is third.
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown came out in 2019. Seven years later, Wings of Theve is the follow-up, and that gap says a lot about the development ambition behind it. The series has never been a quick-turnaround franchise, but even by its own standards, this was a long wait. Ace Combat 7 sold over seven million copies in that time, which meant there was a fanbase sitting on seven years of pent-up patience when the announcement finally arrived.
Critics who have already played it suggest that the wait was very much worth it. The game holds an 87 on Metacritic and an 88 on OpenCritic, making it the second highest rated entry in the franchise's history. The only game ahead of it is 2001's Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, sitting at 89. Being the best in the series in 25 years whilst still finishing second overall is an odd position to be in, but it's a good problem to have.

Particular praise has gone toward the campaign, the cinematic first-person sequences, and a soundtrack that does exactly what Ace Combat soundtracks are supposed to do. The series has always taken its music seriously, and Wings of Theve apparently continues that tradition. Some reviews flag issues with elements of the story and parts of the multiplayer, and those criticisms seem consistent enough across outlets to take seriously. The overall tone is still firmly positive.
