The outstanding Persona 3 Reload sales have led to it being the fastest-selling Atlus game in its history. One million copies of Persona 3 Reload were sold in its first week, according to Atlus.
“Persona 3 Reload sold 1,000,000 copies worldwide within its first week, becoming the fastest-selling game in ATLUS history!” said Atlus West on its Facebook page. “A huge thank you to our community for your incredible support!” Additionally, the publisher seems confident about its future lineup because it says “We look forward to breaking more records with you” in the message as well.
Despite the game being available on Xbox Game Pass day one, that doesn’t seem to have affected its sales in the slightest. In fact, the potential word of mouth may have even helped.
Reception seems to be positive, too. On Steam, the current review score is Overwhelmingly Positive with a 97% rating. Additionally, it has an 88 Metacritic score from 61 critics as of the time of writing.
Persona 3 Reload is an updated version of the original PS2 game, for better or for worse. It has an all-new UI, a talented voice cast, updated graphics similar to Persona 5, and both remade tracks and new music. It also lets you control all of your party members during battle rather than the AI taking measures into its own hands. The Persona 3 Reload sales prove there’s still interest in this gang’s adventures in Tartarus and beyond.
