Playercounts, milestones and Game Pass performance (Starfield hits 15M, biggest Bethesda launch ever, Sea of Thieves tops 40M, Forza Horizon 5 41M, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre hits 4M, Minecraft Dungeons hits 25M)

Ok, Koei. Bring in the other games!

Mighty Doom on Android has 1M+ downloads already

Good numbers for non multi-player game

Not to be that guy, but I think Jez has misinterpreted the numbers:

Overall: ~3.8 million players, Sold: ~1 million copies, Game Pass: ~2.8 million players

Still a lot.

Of course, that is very good - almost 4 million after nearly 2 months.

Not a bad start. Good post-launch support will help with its longevity and success IMO.

Sea of Thieves and Grounded should get updated this year, I expect SOT should be approaching 35-40M and Grounded 20M, Forza Horizon 5 35M

20M for ground

Approx 20 people made that game

I think it was 12-13 but they likely hired more people at this point

4M across Retail, Gamepass and PS Plus.

Tango’s future is very bright.

Also Forza Horizon 5s leaderboards show it at 29.8 million

Damn some crazy numbers here.

I wonder what Starfield will get to. Willing to bet it will really push the needle up on subscriber count.

FH5 did 10M first week so I can see Starfield touching 15M + in the first week.

funny how we heard nothing about GW or Deathloop when they came out as PS5 exclusives. But only now theyre seeing huge engagement numbers

This is prime example of how a service ike GP can benifit AAA games instead of the 70 dollar price tags. For your RE4’s and Elden Rings…yes they’ll do well regardless of price but for these types of games theyre better off being on Gamepass.

Wo Long did a great job on dividing the engagement platform.

Redfall has debuted to 12th place most played game on Xbox in the USA.

Now I don’t have a chart, but I think the highest HiFi Rush and Age of Empires 2 got was mid 20s.

It always depresses me seeing those charts. Then again ps one is similar. Its the same cod fortnite minecraft at the top.

Yeah, 13th here in Australia. Not too bad, but I’m more impressed you have Forza in the top 10 still . Has that game always been in the top 10 since its release? or was the expansion?

(also surprisingly Halo is still chugging along)
