That foliage looks the same as the one found in HFW.

And look at that amazing lighting!
It's so jarring how that shit looks like a PS3 game, and it clashes with the actual like sci-fi stuff which looks like a normal modern-ish 4k game should.

I would think that any game that sells about 3-5 millions on Day 1 should have about 1 million CCU on launch day depending on time zones? It doesn't sound like a rare and impressive metric.

Hogwarts, BG3 and Elden Ring all reached almost 1 million on steam alone. If you count everyone else that were playing on PS, Xbox and other storefronts it was way higher.

Starfield is already available to like 25-30 millions subscribers too.
Nah, depends on the game. I think the average is about 10% of the userbase is active concurrently at launch for the big games

Yeah. I was just in new Atlantis and ignoring how barren it is, there's a mash of styles that don't really fit well together. Some stuff looks great, some stuff looks like garbage.

So, Xbox LITERALLY made up a Metro's UK review 5/5.

WTF? WTF????

BG3 was at like 800k so it sold over 8 millions on Day 1? Seems impossible. The other estimate we had was 5 millions so it matches with the CCU of 1 in 5 people were logged in.

Today with digital copies and preloading available many more people are playing on launch at the same time.

They sold 3 mil in the 3 years of early access, 5 mil on Day 1 seems plausible given that it was the highest meta game of the year, beating out zelda at the time. You can tell a lot of people bought it because the userbase jumped up to 400+k a few days before launch

how many of those subscribers have to uninstall a couple of games because upgrading the storage on their console costs too much? it will take at least a day or two to decide all that's not worth keeping.

They can stream it while it downloads and they will be counted in these stats.
