The latest installment in the video game series is seemingly no exception, as Sega president Shuji Utsumi revealed in a recent press release that Sonic X Shadow Generations has surpassed more than 2 million units sold across all platforms. This data from Sega includes both physical and digital sales of the game for the PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC versions.

Sonic X Shadow Generations has enjoyed continued success

Doubling as a new experience and remaster of a popular title, Sonic X Shadow Generations returns the original Sonic Generations with updated visuals and quality of life improvements, along with a brand new playable campaign featuring Shadow as the protagonist. In the original game, players control both Classic Sonic and his modern iteration in 2D and 3D levels, while the Shadow campaign features all-new levels combining both playstyles with unique abilities and a never-before-seen story.

Utsumi also celebrated the success of the feature film Sonic The Hedgehog 3, which was released late last year and thrived at the box office, grossing over $400 million, making it the highest-grossing film entry to date. In response to the success of the film and Sonic X Shadow Generations, Utsumi also announced that Sega will be dedicating this upcoming year to Shadow the Hedgehog, who features prominently in both properties, with plenty of content promoting the character's future set.

At this point, it is unclear what the future holds Sonic The Hedgehog may stick around as there is no official news regarding the next entry in the main series that Sega is targeting Sonic X Shadow Generations and a recent film. For those looking for more, however, an open world entry Sonic Frontiers is currently available for free for PlayStation Plus Extra members on PS5.
