First released in 2021, Tales of Arise has officially topped 3 million sales. The PS5 and PS4 RPG was previously crowned the fastest selling Tales title ever, having moved 1 million copies in its first week. It then went on to hit 2 million sales by April 2022, so it really has done well for itself over the last couple of years.
An expansion for the game, Beyond the Dawn, launched in November of last year, so we're assuming the DLC (alongside hefty discounts to the base release) helped Tales of Arise reach that milestone 3 million.
It's also worth mentioning that the game has only just been added to PS Plus Extra, and so the timing of this sales announcement makes sense. At this point, the title's probably hit its commercial ceiling, with Bandai Namco looking at potential DLC sales as the best way to keep the ball rolling.

I’ve never played a Tales game. It looks like this is a good place to start? I suspect there’s no contiguous storyline in the franchise, but is there game world features and knowledge that would be required for me to enjoy this?
The fact that it’s on Extra lowers the barrier to entry for me to give it a try.
@Th3solution There are some direct sequels throughout the series, but every base Tales game is standalone. Tales of Arise is a great place to start because of its more 'modern' quality of life options and mechanics. Well worth giving it a shot through Extra, in my opinion.
@Th3solution you're exactly right, this game is a banger. 3M sales and still underrated.
@Th3solution it’s a great game, I’m not even a huge jrpg person but the combat and story are awesome. There’s a lot of dialog and it’s long but it’s fun and the world is gorgeous
Not as good as Berseria but it was a decent Tales game. I feel it lost steam in the second half once you got the awesome knight lady and the prince.
Played all the Tales Of games and Takes Of Graces F will always be my favourite,but absolutely loved Tales Of Arise too so congrats!3 million sales is awesome
Not long finished this after having it in my backlog since release. Just a really, really good game. Love the series!
I'm at the end boss now and have really enjoyed it. Tempted by the platinum but a couple seem like time sinks
N.i.c.e. tales of arise is a excellent game.word up son
I'm kinda mixed on the Tales of series. Symphonia is probably the game that made me love jRPGs.
But the later entries always seem to fall flat for me. Either the combat doesn't feel satisfying and/or everything just feels overly complicated.
Awesome game. Give us Arise 2
Great! Now release Tales Of Abyss on PS5 goddamnit!
