Sonic Frontiers Surpasses Sonic Heroes' 16-year-old Record Sales
The Best-Selling 3D Sonic Game Of All Time
Sonic Frontiers has become the best-selling 3D Sonic game of all time. A significant milestone for the game and the franchise as a whole.
The first actual multi-platform 3D Sonic game, Sonic Heroes, which held the title for 16 years, had 3.41 million copies sold by the end of 2007. In the Sega-Rovio Press Conference, Sonic Frontiers has reportedly sold 35 million units quickly, demonstrating the Sonic franchise's considerable appeal and continued relevance.
DLC May Have Attributed To Sales Boost
It is important to remember that Sonic Frontiers' popularity can be related to the game's quality, legacy, and nostalgia. Sonic Frontiers garnered favorable reviews for its open-world layout, exploring features, and fast-paced gameplay that Sonic fans have grown to adore.
The first free DLC update for the game, released in late March, may also have boosted sales. Since players would have seen the benefit of buying the game with the added bonus of new content, the extra content helped draw potential customers who were previously on the fence.
With two more free DLC updates planned for release later this year, Sonic Frontiers' sales will likely continue to rise even higher. Sonic fans will eagerly anticipate the upcoming updates and may even convince new players to jump in and experience the thrill of Sonic Frontiers.
