The Sonic series has had its ups and downs over the past many years, but the Blue Blur seems to be on a bit of a hot streak at the moment; having recently released the remaster/expansion Sonic x Shadow Generations to immediate sales success. Since its arrival in October 2024, the game has continued to sell well – now surpassing 2 million total copies.

As reported by the publication Gematsu, SEGA has now confirmed that Sonic x Shadow Generations has officially sold over 2 million copies since its launch back in late October.

For content, the game was reported to have surpassed 1 million total sales within the first 24 hours. This figure was then updated to 1.5 million within its first month on the market, meaning Sonic x Shadow Generations’ sales did indeed see a significant drop in the time since.

Even so, the game’s success is notable, especially as it was primarily a remaster of a game from 2011 (which had already sold over 6 million copies).

With it now abundantly clear that there is great fan interest in SEGA bringing back Sonic’s older adventures to modern systems, hopefully we see the likes of Unleashed, Heroes and more be remastered in the not-too-distant future.
