Ninja Theory Sells More Than 50k in First Week on Xbox

“We’ve hit our target of selling 50K units of #Hellblade on #XboxOne in Week 1!

We can now donate $25K to Mental Health America @MentalHealthAm !

We still have 1 day of Week 1 left, so let’s hit our stretch goal of 100K units! If we do it by Apr 18 we can donate $50K!”

is that more than they need for the Charity? nice...

coolbeans2616d ago

Yes, for the $25k tier; unfortunately, doesn't look like the 50k tier (100k sales in ~1 week) will be reached. Time to spam everyone on the last day. :P

It’s funny... for a UK based company, they want to donate to an American charity and not a UK charity 😂

ScootaKuH2615d ago

Yeah I thought that as well. I guess charity doesn't begin at home after all...

This month Microsoft unfortunately hasn't released any notable exclusives so it was a given that Xbox owners would jump all over this quality experience. I'm happy Ninja Theory are making money from this and happy that Xbox owners are having fun with this.

Well deserved. Glad xbox gamers are on this game it deserves every single copy sold.

50,000 in 4days for a game that was already released 8 months ago that sold 500,000 in 3 months isn’t bad at all. Some people like me that are multi console owners have already picked it up as well.

SickWolf2616d ago

Indeed, one of the best games released this generation.

Darth Gamer2616d ago

Playing it now on the Xbox One X. Beautiful game and very well made. A must have for all.

JayRyu2616d ago

Great job Ninja Theory! I'm enjoying the heck out of this game. It looks amazing on the 1X as well.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Review | What's It Like In 2024?

Admittedly, Hellblade: Senua's Saga is far from perfect and won't be a game for everyone, but now with a multitude of accessibility options it has made itself much more palatable for a wider audience, and with constant sale prices between $2-$4, Hellblade: Senua's Saga is too good to pass up for a unique experience that has stood the test of time and will do so once more with its even more robust and epic sequel.

The only thing epic about this “game” is how longnit took to make.

The Hellblade games looked nice but they were essentially walking simulators with a minimal amount of combat tracked on.

Waiting to see what the "Recommended" spec be like!

Skuletor408d ago

Waiting to see if "Minimum" spec targets 30fps 😂

PassNextquestion408d ago

It's my understanding that the frame rate is unlocked on the pc version

Skuletor408d ago

@PassNextquestion
I've seen Ubisoft have PC specs that have targeted 30fps before.

PassNextquestion408d ago (Edited 408d ago )

Why the heck do you need Windows 11 to run the game? I remember there was a ssd feature locked to windows 11 not sure if that's still the case and if that's the reason.. direct storage I believe it is called

DivineHand125408d ago

If those are the minimum specs on PC then why can't the series x do more than 30 fps? Did they intentionally lock it to 30 fps when higher frame rates are possible?

PassNextquestion408d ago

Maybe they didn't want to compromise on the graphics

DarXyde408d ago

Very probable, but I can't really believe that when literally, the Series S ensures that they do.

I kind of think they just want to make it 30fps now to make an update later to keep people "on the hook" or give game pass subs something to look forward to with this game later on.

Personally, I think this game can push at least 45fps, but that's just my opinion. I don't really see a game this short being announced before TLOU2 launched, only to come out *now* and they haven't gotten those frames up.

RedDeadLB408d ago

Probably because they wanted better fidelity and that is probably too demanding for the XSX to push a stable 60fps on. Judging how most games are these days, the performance difference between low to high is sometimes not enough to target double the framerate. A locked, smooth 30fps i better than an unstable 60, even though it feels like picking between two turds.
