Persona Series Has Sold 22.6 Million Units
As the Persona series’ popularity continues to grow, so, too do its sales, with Atlus having recently announced another new major commercial milestone for the beloved role-playing series.
The developer has announced that as of today, March 5, the Persona series has sold a total of 22.6 million units worldwide across all platforms, including all mainline games and their many spinoffs and re-releases.
Of course, that number did receive a recent boost with Persona 3 Reload, which launch last month and sold 1 million units in its first week, becoming Atlus’ biggest launch to date. Atlus has also released a special trailer for the remake to celebrate the series’ latest sales milestone. Check it out below.
A significant portion of the series’ sales are also thanks to Persona 5 and its spinoffs, which have collectively sold over 10 million units to date.
Though Atlus has said that it doesn’t plan to release an expanded version of Persona 3 Reload similar to Persona 4 Golden or Persona 5 Royal, a recent datamining leak suggested that Persona 3 FES’ The Answer will nonetheless be added as DLC, which is something that a hidden easter egg in the remake seems to suggest as well. Meanwhile, leaks have claimed that Atlus is also working on a Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game.
As for what’s next for the series beyond that, if rumours are to be believed, Persona 6 is targeting a 2025 launch, and is going to be a semi-open world experience. Atlus’ parent company Sega has said it expects the game to sell 5 million units in its first year, so clearly, the company has high hopes for Persona.
