Metaphor: ReFantazio releases today, but you probably already know that. In fact, there's a decent chance you already own it. Atlus is bragging that the game—its tale of high-fantasy racism fought by fake David Bowie—has already sold a million copies across all platforms

In a (machine-translated) post on its own site, Atlus announced that "total worldwide sales (packaged version shipped + download version sold) have surpassed 1 million copies!" As is company tradition, the studio got artist Shigenori Soejima to throw together a quick celebratory sketch of Gallica—pretty much the game's equivalent to Persona 5's mascot Morgana or Persona 4's Teddie—to mark the occasion.
Atlus doesn't actually say this, but unless I'm mistaken I think this makes Metaphor the company's new fastest-selling game. Earlier in 2024, Atlus tooted its horn about Persona 3 Reload being its fastest-selling game ever, with a million sales in its first week. Metaphor seems to have done that in time for its first day, so barring some kind of book-keeping weirdness I reckon it's the new record-holder.

I watched the launch trailer, and the game looks very Persona 3. If the sales numbers are accurate, that's a huge win for Atlus, but I'm suspicious that a new IP would sell better (and faster) than a mainline Persona game.

It's on Atlus' website which is the article states

I doubt Atlus would lie, Sega has shareholders it's illegal to lie about their sales.

Apparently someone tested it and the PS4 version Fake PKG works on 9.0 with no backport which is weird because PS4 is on 12 firmware and it's a brand new game, but I'm downloading it now. I'll update and confirm once it's installed.
