Atlus has released their annual Japanese online consumer survey for 2026 to learn more about their customers and improve their game development. This year marks the eleventh annual Japanese survey, and this is the first time it’s hosted on the Sega website instead of directly through the Atlus site.

There English version of the survey is also available.

Every year, the survey contributes meaningfully to development at Atlus, with the company stating that the results “assist us in delivering unique and compelling gaming experiences, as we continue to pursue development that values passion and ambition.”

The survey duration is estimated to take approximately 20 minutes. The survey timeframe is from now until September 6th.

The questions from the survey can be seen below. For questions that I feel are especially interesting and should be highlighted, see Questions 14, 18, 20, 21, and 22.
