Sonic Frontiers has officially sold 3 million units

Following many years of less-than-stellar video game releases, Sonic Team seem to have knocked it out of the park with Sonic Frontiers. Released back in November 2022, the open-zone platformer has already managed to become one of the franchises better-selling titles, having officially surpassed 3 million copies in just 4 months.

Making the announcement on Twitter, the official Japanese Sonic account revealed that just 4 months after its 8th of November 2022 launch, Sonic Frontiers has officially surpassed 3 million copies sold.

While this in no way makes Frontiers the best-performing game in the franchise, SEGA has in recent years failed to offer any sales statistics on the likes of 2017’s Sonic Forces – or when they have (such as with Sonic Lost World) – the numbers have not been great.

To see SEGA celebrating Sonic’s sales success after so many duds is a welcome change, and with Frontiers recently getting its first wave of free DLC, the title is likely to continue performing admirably.

Of course, it is worth noting that a majority of these 3 million copies sold occurred during the game’s first month – but this is typically the case with many games. As mentioned, the first of 3 waves of free DLC has now been released, meaning that over the course of the year and, with each new content drop, expect more people to flock to the game. It will be highly interesting to see how many copies the game sells when all is said and done.
