Sonic Team’s most recent game, Sonic Frontiers, has performed well in terms of sales, according to a recent financial report from Sega. To considerable anticipation and cautious optimism, the open-zone adventure with the company’s blue mascot was published in November of last year. While the game received mixed reviews from critics, it received better reviews from fans, who praised the new approach in great numbers. With its release, Sonic Frontiers received such positive press that it enjoyed strong initial sales all across the world.
Because of how well-liked it became so quickly, the game was able to break some previous records. It managed to become one of the fastest selling Sonic games in Japan last year and smashed the franchise’s previous concurrent player record on Steam. The latter accomplishment was especially noteworthy because historically speaking, the figure hasn’t been as well-liked in its homeland as it is in the West. This most current Sega financial report includes an updated statistic that illustrates the game’s progress through 2022.
This study concentrated on Persona 5 Royal’s remaster and Sonic Frontiers, two high-profile games that came out in the third quarter of 2022. Both titles, which were available on various platforms, experienced significant sales during this time. Persona 5 Royal’s remaster sold more than 1.3 million copies globally by the end of December 2022, whereas Sonic Frontiers sold 2.9 million copies. Sonic Frontiers’ most recent sales statistic was 2.5 million copies, which was revealed in the middle of December. Despite this, the game is still among the best-selling titles in the franchise, even outpacing Sonic Mania.
