This cannot be because just 24 hours ago we were told by our A.I overlord it's way too early
Seems some people here has evelopmental disability or skipped the school lesson about behaving properly.

So you mean to say the thread should have stuck around so we could have updated the progress 😱

Funny how they've been avoiding the discussion ever since.
No, I mean that as we said a million times it's stupid first to assume sales from CCUs, even more particularly for SP games. And even more just a few hours after launch, when these things take time to get properly updated.

And well, if there would be an accurate way to estimate sales for the first 24h, this is a non-Nintendo kids game. That type of game sell way more later in pre-Christmas season and also have longer legs than the average game.

Why are you constantly whining about Sony then?

You have another platform.

Like a person who can’t get over their ex. Move on.

A game not really needed.
But if you were gonna do it, do it properly with one of the better Lego developers? And maybe started with a franchise like Spiderman would of been better? Or a PS all stars lego mash up, a good entry for everyone

Fuck off with this shit. The game is already out of the top 100 a day later. It's the biggest flop since Concord. Going multiplat killed any hype and demand for Sony IPs.

Accept that instead of policing users here and censoring what we can talk about.

Best estimates for Steam sales have this at under 5K.

It's very possible this game at best does 100K across all platforms in its launch month. For something tied to one of SIE's most prominent (at least in terms of marketing efforts) IP, that's abysmal.

Bruh you are not considering the Lego Horizon Remaster and Lego Horizon Remake in your projections. I am sure they are pencilled in to be released in 2026, Cant let people forget about "popular" IP Horizon

All the other Lego games are from TT, a different developer.

Just don't expect the other titles to have a similar gameplay.
This game was created by Telltale Fusion, one of the two separate but similarly named studios that create the "Lego IP" games. They had help from Guerilla but its obvious that TTF was in the driver's seat.

5k is very generous. It's under 3k for sure with these abysmal numbers. It's at number 132 and out of top 200 by the end of the weekend. This was all predictable when Sony went the Xbox way. Losers.

These idiots will keep cheering while Sony becomes a laughingstock publisher with back to back flops in Concord, GOW PC, Until Dawn, Horizon Remastered and Lego Horizon. All in the space of 3 months.

A record in the video game industry 😬

I want to say good because its way overvalued as an IP. No one is going to buy the Monster Hunter clone either. Way too much of a drop off with less buyers interested in the sequel vs its debut game. Yea, ps plus extra fucked that up too.

But… it’s a Lego game for pre-teens and those always surprise with how well they sell long term.

The average peak CCS seems around 4K-5K; Skywalker Saga is an anomaly and pulled in 82K peak CCU, but usually it's a lot smaller.

Thing is, LEGO Horizon is tracking well below the typical peak CCU too for modern LEGO games, so clearly it's just not a very popular entry.

Also, the people saying it'll do much better on console...well the same was said about Concord and look what happened there. I'm not expecting PS5 or Switch to salvage sales and even if player numbers were better on them, since they're both closed platforms WRT providing player data metrics, it doesn't matter.
From what I've seen most of these games in reality have CCU same or lower than Lego Horizon in their first month, they reach that peak CCU months or even years after they launched. The anomaly, as you said, was Skywalker Saga, that not only has an unusual high CCU but it peaked in it's first month.

Don't look now but Lego Horizon is now on the first page on the PS Store best sellers. Currently ranked 10th in games 40 dollars or more...


Advertising definitely seems to be heavier for this game and that seems to be pushing up sales. As usual I think there is a rush to judgement here.

Does that mean this game is going to be a smash hit? Obviously it never was going to be. But a profitable and strategic release? Sure potentially. You can probably use this company again in the future.
