Persona 3 Reload has become the fastest-selling title in the history of developer Atlus.
The remake sold over 1 million copies within one week after launching on February 4, 2024. Atlus broke the news on X and thanked its community for their "incredible support."
Persona 3 launched way back in 2006. Reload aimed to reimagine the experience for contemporary audiences with the addition of "cutting-edge graphics, modernized quality-of-life features, and signature stylish UI."
The last mainline entry in the Persona franchise, Persona 5, sold over 3.2 million copies within three years of launch.
The wider Persona 5 series, which includes an enhanced edition called Persona 5 Royal and brand new titles like Persona 5 Strikers and Persona 5 Tactica, collectively surpassed 10 million sales as of December 2023 (thanks Gematsu).
Remakes and remasters have become big business. Last year, Final Fantasy VII Remake and Remake Intergrade topped 7 million sales worldwide, while the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series pulled in 3 million sales in two years.
Resident Evil 4 Remake also crossed 5 million sales in June last year, with developer Capcom later explaining the title had become a "significant" growth driver.
