Sonic X Shadow Generations Exceeds 1 Million Units Sold on Launch Day

2024 continues to be an incredible year for Sega. The company has seen a string of hits from the beginning of the year right up to now, and its latest major release has also got off to a great start. Sonic X Shadow Generations launched for PC and consoles today, and it has already surpassed 1 million sales worldwide across all platforms on day one.

On top of a remastered version of the acclaimed 2011 platformer Sonic Generations, the newly released title also includes a brand-new standalone game in the form of Shadow Generations. Sega will also be releasing DLC for the game in December that will include a new level and voice acting for Shadow performed by Keanu Reeves, who also plays the character in the upcoming movie Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

In our review of Sonic X Shadow Generations, we awarded it a score of 8/10, saying, “With an enhanced version of one of the series’ best 3D outings to date, as well as a legitimately great brand-new adventure starring a returning fan-favourite, Sonic X Shadow Generations is well worth a look for fans of Sega’s platforming franchise.” Read the full review through here.

The platformer is the latest in a long line of successful releases for Sega. The publisher has launched a number of major titles in 2024 that have all enjoyed critical and commercial success, with Metaphor: ReFantazio, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload, Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance, and Unicorn Overlord.

Sonic X Shadow Generations is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
