No sales or revenue figure has been disclosed. The notable business fact is the publisher's identity changing underneath the game: Take-Two divested Private Division in November 2024, Bloomberg identified the buyer as Haveli Investments in January 2025, and the label rebranded to Fictions in June 2025 — so a game announced under Private Division shipped in July 2025 under Fictions. A Wētā Workshop spokesperson said the team "stayed focused on developing Tales of the Shire and felt supported by everyone who has worked on this game." In place of sales data, the clearest signal is the gap between critics and players: Metacritic 61 on PS5, 59 on Switch and 58 on PC with only 25% recommending on OpenCritic, against 82% positive Steam user reviews.
