Now that’s what I call “case by case with legacy title.”

Curious to see how RTS may do marketwise on PS.

in 8K on PS5 Pro’s PSSR!

Make it rain, Worlds Edge

Weird that it’s AOE 2 DE and not AOE IV.

Probably just testing to see if there is an audience there before committing. With some games on PlayStation not even reaching a million this could bomb hard. SOT was the only one of the 4 that did well, and it has since dropped down closer to number 70 to 100. Then we also know Xbox won’t market this neither will PlayStation.

All valid points. It is a weird game to port regardless. I never would have had AOE on my bingo card.

AOE 2 DE is the more popular game based on Steam.

RTS is not my genre, but it seems like theres plenty of opportunity to pickup consumers there.

But then again, no idea the size of that potential market. Is it thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands? :person_shrugging:

I’m not a fan of this. I know we have talked about this before but it’s just another game to devalue your console

RTS isn’t a big market on console… It’s always been a PC market due to the hotkeys on a keyboard plus the speed of a mouse and mod support and even then it’s more of a niche category now in my eyes.
