Sega hits milestone as Sonic X Shadow Generations crosses new sales threshold

Sega’s president Shuji Utsumi announced that Sonic X Shadow Generations has achieved a significant milestone, surpassing 2 million units sold across all platforms. This marks substantial growth from its previous reported figure of 1.5 million units, indicating strong continued interest from players.

The sales figures encompass both physical and digital versions across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms. This success comes during a particularly strong period for the Sonic franchise, which has expanded beyond games into successful film adaptations and LEGO collaborations.

Shadow the Hedgehog takes center stage in Sega’s upcoming plans

The game offers a unique blend of old and new content, combining a remastered version of the original Sonic Generations with enhanced visuals and gameplay improvements. Players can experience both Classic and Modern Sonic gameplay in 2D and 3D environments, alongside an entirely new campaign starring Shadow the Hedgehog with its own distinctive abilities and narrative.

Following the game’s success and the impressive $400 million box office performance of Sonic The Hedgehog 3, Sega has declared the upcoming year will focus on Shadow the Hedgehog. The company plans to release various content highlighting the character, who has gained prominence in both the gaming and film segments of the franchise.

While Sega currently maintains its focus on Sonic X Shadow Generations and the film series, no announcements have been made regarding the next mainline entry in the franchise. PlayStation Plus Extra subscribers can currently access Sonic Frontiers at no additional cost on PS5.
