Good to see it doing well in Japan, and worldwide as well, the game has already shipped over 1 million copies.

the cumulative sales of most of the Switch titles that charted is ridiculous.

metalhead944d ago

I bought this and Deathloop at the same time. I wish I had me one of them time turning necklaces like in Harry Potter 3

JEECE944d ago

Lol I'm glad that if you had that power you would use it for such an important purpose.

bangoskank944d ago

Well deserved. Easily the best JRPG I've played in years. Better than DQ11 imo.

PTMG944d ago

Agreed. Was mega excited to play DQ11 and just didn't see what the hype was about personally. Just found it really plain.

Traecy944d ago

The stories were good.

RedDevils944d ago

Compare to 8, 11 was pretty average.

ecchiless944d ago

Technically the game is better that Berseria, story wise, characters, villain Berseria is much much better, still a good game.
I loved how they use the skits to tell more about the chars and story.
My only grip is the camera in combat and the lock to enemies.

Tales of Arise Has Sold 3 Million Copies Before Releasing on Game Pass and PlayStation Plus

The beloved JRPG Tales of Arise has become available on Xbox and PC Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Game Catalogue today, but not before passing 3 million copies sold.

Knightofelemia57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

It's a great entry into the Tales franchise I enjoyed it. I just wonder if Namco will make a new Tales game. Or will they make a sequel or prequel to Arise. Like they have with past Tales games like Berseria being a prequel to Zestiria, Tales of Xillia got a sequel, Tales of Symphonia got a sequel even though it's crap. Either way I am excited for the next Tales game.

SeTTriP57d ago

Game was phenomenal to me it deserves the success.

Lexreborn257d ago

I would love a modern remake of Phantasia.

Shane Kim57d ago

I have slept om this series. First game was Arise and it was awesome. I just didn't like the end where they threw one mini boss after the other until the last boss.

Finally, Resistance: Retribution 🔥

It's an alright month overall. I think Sony should try to more consistently get some high quality indies Day 1 in the service, e.g. Ultros would have been good. Those have usually been some of the better months, e.g. Stray, Sea Of Stars, Tchia.

Shame that for this version of Outer Worlds, you can't import your save. 😔 Truly Spacer's Choice

darthv7264d ago

retribution was a cool game. It's the only one that allowed you to link a DS3 controller using Resistance 2 to play it (as far as i know). It was an interesting experiment that didnt offer 2nd analog support though but Im betting this version does.

Eonjay64d ago

Good point. One assumes that is the reason for the delay on releasing it.

ChasterMies64d ago

Joke’s on Outer Worlds Spacers Choice. I quit after the first planet in Outer Worlds.

MaximusPrime_64d ago

Glad I didn't buy NFS rebound. I expected this to be on PS Plus.

ravens5263d ago

Unbound lol. N I got it for 15 physical, 🤷🏽. I'll take it. Jus got extra this year for $80, which is a great deal. If I can pay $80 on sale every year I'd stick with Extra. I don't mind buying a game but then it shows up here cause then I can download it to have it digitally but still have MY copy. Once they take it off I can still play it.

Eonjay64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

You can say what you want about day one purchases but besides that Plus really blows GamePass out of the water.

NFS, Outer Worlds and 4 different Tales of Games... and Retribution. And you throw the monthly games on top of that... its no competition.

BTW... how is it that no one realized that Microsoft could just put its games on Plus. No one seems to realize that Microsoft and Sony are now working to enrich each other. (Console ware is over)

darthv7264d ago

Sadly, Retribution is only for premium users... not us extra folk. I do have the original UMD, but it would be nice to get it digitally like i did with killzone liberation and stardust. Both of which i already owned digitally on my Go/Vita and it was cool when those were made available for the PS5 as then i could dl them.

Eonjay64d ago

This is one UMD I never had but thats really awesome you still have an original.

ChasterMies64d ago

How can Game Pass be the best deal on gaming when it is more expensive than PS+?

badboyz0964d ago

Plus you need a platform to.

Petebloodyonion64d ago

Gamepass PC is way cheaper to PS+ and even way cheaper if you use MS rewards points

Redgrave64d ago

Is that Jet Moto 2, under Resistance? As of writing, it's just an image and no text.

Redgrave64d ago

It's been fixed, and yes it is

Toecutter0064d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Why is the Killzone series still M.I.A? I still love playing splitscreen co-op of KZ3.

MrBaskerville63d ago

They did release the psp top down shooter a while back. So it's not completely forgotten.

That’s cool. I bought in on a sale for like $15, or $20. Was gonna play it, but new games keep coming out. Now FF7 Rebirth is about to come out, so again I will have to push this til later.

I did play Scarlet Nexus on Gamepass, so it doesn’t surprise me that they will release this there to get a bit more income.

I've been eyeing it up (and Scarlet Nexus) for ages so this is the perfect opportunity!
