This statistic is amazing, given how worried fans were about Sonic Frontiers’ performance when it debuted alongside God of War: Ragnarok. When compared to the last mainstream game, it outperforms Sonic Forces’ 10K launch sales in 2017. Given that the game was named one of the most anticipated titles of 2022 at the Tokyo Game Show, it appears that the franchise’s efforts to appeal to a Japanese audience are also bearing fruit.
Sega will be giving a bunch of free DLC for Sonic Frontiers, which appears to be increasing the game’s momentum. Following the release of the Monster Hunter cooperation packs in 2023, these updates will be published throughout the year.
