SEGA and Atlus Celebrate New Persona Series Sales Milestones
SEGA and Atlus have reaffirmed the enduring popularity of the Persona franchise by releasing updated sales statistics that underscore the series’ global appeal.
As of April 2024, the acclaimed Japanese RPG series has added an impressive 3.6 million units to its worldwide sales tally, marking another major achievement in the illustrious history of the franchise.
The latest milestone comes on the heels of high-profile releases, such as Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Golden, which have both played significant roles in driving sales momentum.
Atlus, the developer behind the Persona titles and a key subsidiary of SEGA, revealed that in 2024 alone, more than 830,000 copies of Persona games have been sold across various platforms.
This robust performance is particularly notable as the franchise continues to expand its reach beyond its PlayStation origins.
Persona 3 Reload, a modern remake of the beloved PlayStation 2 classic, has been met with critical acclaim since its release earlier this year and has rapidly become a standout seller for Atlus.
Likewise, Persona 5 Golden remains a fan favorite, further solidifying the series’ reputation for delivering richly detailed narratives and stylish gameplay.
In an official statement shared by SEGA and Atlus, company representatives highlighted the importance of both legacy and innovation in contributing to the franchise’s sustained growth.
The publisher credited the strong response to recent entries and re-releases, along with ongoing support from international fans, for reaching these new sales milestones.
The Persona series continues to perform well on key hardware platforms like PlayStation, Xbox, and most recently, Nintendo Switch, where titles like Persona 5 Royal and Persona 4 Golden have enjoyed a surge in popularity through the Nintendo eShop.
Atlus’s development team has been widely recognized for its commitment to quality and its ability to refresh classic games for a modern audience.
As the Persona franchise crosses the 20 million mark in total sales, expectations remain high for future projects.
While Atlus has not officially confirmed upcoming remakes or new entries, the company’s recent achievements reinforce its role as a leading voice in the JRPG genre.
With continued sales growth and a reputation for innovative storytelling, the Persona series stands as a shining example of a long-running franchise finding new life across multiple generations of hardware and audiences worldwide.
