Nice. It's really cool that PC players get to play this masterpiece.

[PrinceOfAnger]

It has surpassed spider man now
it's 71k+
game did this with way shorter time than spider man.

@prince
I'm confused. Does that number mean total players at one time playing like a snapshot
or total sales? If it's the former that's not very accurate because I know I'm not the only person that buys games and plays them later and that number is not included.

[RNTody]

Great, I loved this game. Definitely think it's Sucker Punch's best work to date!

[Plague-Doctor27]

Agreed. That intro is GOATed

[rippermcrip]

Is this going to be the new thing thing? Articles about Steam reviews? Which of course was in response to the false article about the review bombings in the first place.

[Christopher]

Hey, just a heads up that the new owners did open news to Steam updates, but we try our best to not allow them to go on daily updates unless relevant to some other news. I understand this isn't everyone's cup and tea and sympathize, but the door has been open. If you feel it's 'too much' please do PM me or submit a ticket to the mod team. Thank you.

I came here to post this link in that specific article. 84 perce t is pretty good. How many bad reviews were there like 5

[GamerzElite]

This is good game and Ghost eliminate all fake outrage.

[CrimsonWing69]

I always get confused by this, but is 72k good sales numbers for a game? I keep seeing games fail at selling 2.5 million and that they need to be on multiple platforms but is an additional 72k adding much?

[Fishy Fingers]

Im not sure how its confusing :\

72k actively playing. Not 72k sold.

A good example is Helldivers 2, 6m sold, 450k (at its peak) active players.

But how many swords swung is what we're all really waiting for.

[shinoff2183]

Lmao. How many swords swung. I was hoping for how many steps

[purple101]

how many flutes played

[wesnytsfs]

And its how many years old from initial release.

[Crows90]

72k is concurrent
...that is not the sold figure.

[Michiel1989]

for one they already had a huge launch on the playstation, they don't need to sell 5m to make the porting to pc profitable and as pointed out below that number you see is just the people playing it at this moment.

[Plague-Doctor27]

Also from the insomniac leak we know these PC ports are a quick turnaround and budgeted around $2-4 million. At 100k sales they break even including Steams cut. They may not sell millions but they are a great ROI

[elazz]

72k concurrent. That is a global number. People who bought the game are not playing at the same time because of timezones, working schedules, holidays, events... There is no good rule of thumb but you can extrapolate based on other games that also released sales data. Then it is clear that the PC release alone accounts for at least 500K copies sold on steam, maybe closer to 700-800K. Probably will sell over a million this extended weekend.

According to steamspy and other data gathering sites games like Days Gone, Spider Man, God Of War, Horizon Zero Dawn have sold 2 to 5 million copies on Steam. So I expect Ghost to reach similar numbers. Probably even surpass it.

[thorstein]

I suggest getting a Dual Sense controller for the haptic feedback.

[outsider1624]

Yeah. Not to forget swiping up for directions, sheathing your sword, bow down etc is so useful on the touchpad..

[Valkyrye]

Why babies 👶🍼 crying over this?

[banger88]

And there's just as many people leeching the game on torrent sites.

[neutralgamer1992]

For a studio like sucker punch that sucks. They are one of the nicest studios in the world and deserve all the success

[anast]

No one really cares about the PSN issue.

[Skuletor]

You were the first person in this comment section to bring that up, it seems you care.

[Gamingsince1981]

Or it proves the point no one cares ....

[Skuletor]

@1981 Nah. It's still a very real issue for those that want to buy it in countries where Sony decided to not sell it because of the PSN requirements.

[anast]

87%, it might hit 90 before the days end.

[antikbaka]

if ur country is banned from purchasing - don't feel guilty to pirate. You can pay for it later, in case sony gets their brain fixed

[wesnytsfs]

Great game, third play thru for me after finishing it on ps4 and ps5 this hands down the best looking version. Look at the numbers Sony release your first party games earlier it will create an even bigger audience and more revenue.

[Sonic1881]

My first time playing it and enjoying it in 4K 60fps
