BOMBA: After 3 days of sales, Hellblade 2 is already out of the top 50 on Steam (#54). CCU lower than Hellblade 1.

Still a mere fraction of the amount of people who played it on PC.
A game's availability on Game Pass means a ton of people who would otherwise buy a game on Steam to play it have it available to them for no extra cost thanks to their Game Pass subscription.
Do you really mean to say that this wouldn't have a significant impact on Steam sales?
Wouldn' be the biggest loss in the world for a studio that takes 7 years to make a 5 hour walking simulator tech demo.
Game has to come to ps5 at this point or risk themselves studio closure
There's no way to determine the breakdown or overlap between console and PC, but MS reported 34 million Game Pass subscribers as of mid February 2024.

You talk as if this game pass thing is new. Bitch we have the receipts here with all the data. What about the PS ports that are years old and on PS+ and still beat Senua's ass? GOT is still number 4 after Steamdeck btw.
And? Even if all of the 34 million GP users were PC subscriptions, you would still have 100+ million on Steam without GP.
HELLBOMBA: After 7 years of development, the sequel of Hellbimbo was finally released this week and it was a resounding failure. The game is already out of the Top 50 on Steam before the first weekend even starts (#54)

The CCU of 3,982 on the first day will be the peak. Hellblade 1 had a peak of 5,653 and it was released as an indie with no marketing budget....7 years ago
Of course, this was all predicted by myself before release but I was laughed at by our resident xbot @Infinity .

What's next for Ninja Theory? Are we getting a port or this is the end for them? Please vote.

I'm supporting the devs by NOT buying it so they can retire. It dropped to number 63
GOT is now number 3, higher than Steam Deck
Motherfucking xbots and microsoft, this emotional blackmail of buy games otherwise studios will shut down is pathetic. How in the world have we come to it being okay for a game dev to make flop games and justify their continued existence
Im gonna check, must be a webarchive thing somewhere, at least it was nowhere near 850k like you stated in your post.
you can go to the steam page and filter the results, there was around 320k total reviews before the review bombing started, and then there were another 300+k during the review bombing period.
*edit* actually if you include non-steam buyers it already had 400k
Thanks, so Helldivers 2 is a bit of an outlier.
So I estimate Hades is around 6-9 million copies sold.
Trophies are already in the game, only a matter of time now. I'm betting sooner rather than later now (maybe 6 months max) as they'll not want to make the same mistake as hifi rush.
The sales have been catastrophic. Every day they wait to port it, the less return they'll get on PS5.
Microsoft is shit but 7 years is too much for such a game with the developer working on well developed 3rd party engine. This could have been a 10 to 12 hour game with much better focus on gameplay, story pacing and combat. NT is now considered a non efficient developer. Publishers and investors won't give them a chance.
Sorry to say this, but I expect them to be shutdown.
take them out of their misery.
5h game with 3h cutscenes out of those 5h. also 1h running around lighting up fireplaces. sorry, but this m$ studios with huge backing capabilities.
Indie devs working in the basement makes better and bigger games.
Yeah I believe this is correct to assume. But who knows maybe studio survives even after losing money this time.
