Sonic Frontiers has recently crossed another big sales milestone this past month. This game launched late last year, with Sonic Team and Sega taking on a new frontier with the blue mascot, with its own open-world adventure. While reviewers were mixed-to-positive about the game's shakeup, fans were much more accepting of the game's new direction. The mostly positive reception for Sonic Frontiers has allowed it to flourish commercially, becoming one of the best-selling Sonic the Hedgehog games to date.

The sales success of Sonic Frontiers was noted by Sega in a 2022 financial report, where it had earned healthy sales numbers despite launching in a heavily competitive November, alongside titles like God of War: Ragnarok, Pokemon: Scarlet and Violet, and more. By the end of Sega's fiscal year 2022, the game had managed to sell roughly 2.9 million units, which had surpassed the parent company's expectations. The latest report has indicated that Sonic Frontiers has recently managed to break through and cross a new sales milestone.

According to a tweet from the official Japanese account for the series, Sonic Frontiers has managed to sell over 3 million units worldwide, across all platforms. The last reported figure of 2.9 million was in the middle of February and the tail end of Sega's fiscal year. This meant the game had likely sold at least 100,000 copies sometime in-between the month of the financial report and the end of March, which is an impressive feat.

This milestone makes it the second best-selling 3D Sonic the Hedgehog game in the entire franchise, surpassing critically acclaimed games like Sonic Adventure, Sonic Colors, and Sonic Generations. The crown holder for the best-selling 3D Sonic game to date is 2003's Sonic Heroes, released on the original Xbox, PlayStation 2, and Nintendo GameCube, where it had sold at least 3.41 million units by the end of 2007.

Sega and Sonic Team have stated that they are pursuing a "repeat sales" strategy when it comes to Sonic Frontiers, and the DLC roadmap will help in that regard. It should be noted that this figure was provided before the game's recent update, providing the first wave of DLC. This wave added a number of QOL improvements, a photo mode, and an in-game jukebox for fans to try out. The big one that fans are greatly anticipating is the addition of the DLC characters for Sonic Frontiers, which also includes a brand-new story.

Sonic Frontiers is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
