Sonic X Shadow Generations officially launches today, 25th October, 2024, and it's already performing extremely well. In a press release, SEGA confirms that the new title has already sold more than one million copies.
As reported by Sonic Stadium, the figure is the total across all platforms and includes physical and digital sales. Even with all that in consideration, a million copies sold on launch day is an impressive figure.
SEGA also highlights the game's global launch and support for numerous languages, which will no doubt have contributed to the strong opening day. On top of that, the three-day early access for pre-ordering the digital deluxe edition will certainly have incentivised fans to part with their cash.
The game is made of up two halves; the first is a remaster of Sonic Generations, which enjoys a resolution bump, solid performance, and one or two neat additions, while the other half is Shadow Generations — an all-new game starring the edgy antihero, built on the foundation of Sonic Frontiers.
It's a great double feature, though admittedly we think Shadow's campaign outshines the original in many ways. You can read more in our review.
As well as this game, franchise fans can look forward to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 — the movie — due for release in December. It'll introduce Shadow to the story, voiced by none other than Keanu Reeves.

Everyone is just tired of pretending like Shadow wasn't super cool all along. Every Goku needs a Vegeta
Funnily enough a hedgehog started visiting our back garden this week. We’ve started referring to him as Sonic 😊
Awesome news, I've just had the physical version delivered and I can't wait to get started. Whilst the environments in Sonic Frontiers were a bit drab, it did lay some excellent foundations for how Sonic games should play going forward and it seems that Shadow is reaping the rewards
Haha very good to hear! Sonic's here to stay, no matter what haters have to ''say''. I have it on both Switch and PS5 and it's been a blast! Can't wait to play through Rooftop Run again. Best Sonic level ever imo
It's great to see that people still love sonic ☺️
Going to sell multiple millions. Especially when the movie drops
Congrats to SEGA and Sonic Team for delivering another banger game.
Also, Square called, they said those numbers are underwhelming.
It's weird how SEGA keeps announcing these milestones so early. Presumably again this is a combination of digital sales and shipped physical copies.
Sega had a really good year with LaD:IW, P3R, SMT5V, Metaphor and Sonic
Glad to see that
Sega firing on all cylinders. good for them.
Wait...SEGA sees 1 million launch sales as good?
Final Fantasy 16: 🤨
@Maubari Gotta agree with you there. The generations version of rooftop run is just sublime.
@JackiePriest In the same exact week? They totally are... but go ahead and try to give a negative twist to it. I'm sure SOMEONE will eventually care lmfao
@Maubari It was a joke about how Square aren't happy with any of their launch numbers and call them "disappointing" no matter what.
That’s actually insane. It’s only been out for three days? I guess people still enjoy Sonic games. Or at least Shadow. I’m a casual Sonic fan, and collect a few figures here and there. But it always seems nobody is happy with these games anymore. I guess since this one was so popular when it came out and the Shadow story tacked on really helped.
@LavenderShroud The amazing part is that it's 1 million in three days but one of the target platforms only came out today. It'll probably hit 2m minimum when the year ends
Amazing and I don’t think Sonic has even been this big! Well done Sega Sammy 👍🏻
@colonelkilgore sonic napam in the morning. Smells like victory 😋🦔
Still waiting on a good 3D Sonic game.
The Shadow campaign has been excellent so far.
@Balaam_ So buy this one then or Frontiers.
@Balaam_ Sounds to me you don't like Sonic at all.
There's been plenty of great of fantastic 3D Sonic games..
The Adventure games, Unleashed, Colors, Generations, Frontiers.. Take your pick.
Unless you've already decided and just wanted to let your ''opinion'' heard. Yikes.
@ATaco He's more like Sasuke to Naruto, really.
3D Sonic has always and will always be utter garbage
@CielloArc compared to Sparking Zero's 3 million in one day they are lol
@Maubari you forgot Sonic Heroes and Sonic R 🤣😜
@Balaam_ You've never played Sonic R
