SEGA Lifts Persona 5 Royal Lifetime Sales to 8.66 Million in Annual Report

3 articles · Updated · Push Square · Jun 22

Summary

  • 8.66 million copies sold puts Persona 5 Royal atop SEGA’s updated lifetime-sales list, with the publisher saying the figure excludes the original Persona 5 and would push the broader total above 10 million.
  • SEGA’s annual report showed its RPG catalog still drawing players over the past 12 months, led by Yakuza: Like a Dragon at 3.12 million and Persona 3 Reload at 2.97 million.
  • 2024 releases also posted solid totals, with Metaphor: ReFantazio at 2.46 million and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth at 2.05 million, while Shin Megami Tensei 5 reached 2.44 million including Vengeance.
  • The update contrasts with the same financial report’s weaker showing for some non-RPG titles, after SEGA said Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds and Shinobi: Art of Vengeance missed expectations.
