Total number of players for Hi-Fi Rush has exceeded 3 million

Using number of players is such an ambiguous metric. I get why MS affiliated companies use it, but I hope it doesn't catch on for everyone else.
OMG what a terrible number. Even sales would be bad. They only added 1 million game pass player in 6 months?
Xbox really is a small bubble. This is by far the most talked about GP game ever.

Shills where hyping this all the way to the moon.
That number is pretty shit when put into context.

Useless statistic. No context. They count someone who played it for 1 minute as a player.
Wouldn't expect anything else from MS and even with that, it's a horrible number. Not something I'd brag about. Their studios must be desperate.

Amazing game, bought this day 1 and no regrets. I wish Microsoft never owned TangoGameworks. They destroyed the potential of a great title, it would've been so much bigger if it was on PlayStation/Nintendo. Shadow dropping this with zero marketing after its release is a shame, amazing game wasted on the worst fanbase.
That said, Xbox fanboys are doing extreme mental gymnastics to convince themselves that 3m sales in a week at $70 for FF16 is a flop, and 3m players on a $1 rental service after 6 months is successful
this is why I have no respect for those clowns.

Xbox put no effort into marketing this game, and it's sad because it's their only good game in YEARS. If it had a proper marketing cycle instead of shadow dropped it would've done better. They didn't even do any post release marketing either.
yep 100% true.
One of their best games, with zero advertising.
Redfall, the world's biggest Turd, advertised everywhere.
What marketing do they need?
It’s free on Gamepass. Not like it’s a 70 pound game no one wants to buy.
So basically 22 million didn’t even bother downloading it and giving it a try.
It's "free" on GamePass and so are 300+ other games. Just cause a game is "free" on GamePass doesn't mean its being marketed! Does that mean all the indie junk on there is also being "marketed"? Obviously not, Xbox made NO EFFORT to make it stand out against all the other games. If you didn't watch their developer direct or coverage from gaming youtube channels, it would be hard to know it even existed. Not everyone is on forums or watching gaming videos like us. Especially Xbox fans who are the most casual bunch in gaming.

You can make this excuse for every game which does poorly.
Not marketed enough or there were too many other games.
Exactly, also you don't even need to download the game. You can play it through xcloud for 5 seconds and you instantly count as a player. Xbox also fudges the numbers with their MAU, I bet anyone that opens up solitaire on a Windows PC is counted as an active user
