Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain made $179 million globally on its first day on sale, according to Adobe Digital Index's new report on gaming trends. That’s double what Avengers: Age of Ultron ($84.5 million) or Jurassic World ($82 million) managed to rake in on their first days.

That’s a particularly impressive statistic when you take into account that Metal Gear Solid V cost an estimated $80 million to make. Age of Ultron, by comparison, had a whopping $250 million budget.
