Great netcode. Great character design. A ton of characters. Fun game. No DEI nonsense.

It's surprising to me it made all that money because there's no great incentive to spend anything. There's not that many skins and the battlepass is pretty thin.

 

[Shifty1897]

Probably all that Psylocke / Sue Storm ass driving sales

 

[Astray]

Important to remember that this is an estimate, but those sound like v. strong numbers for only one month.

That Xbox number tho.. Whether you compare it to Steam or PS, that number is unbelievably bad.

The game is F2P so there shouldn't have been any barriers for entry for Xbox players at all, they even removed the Live Gold /GP Core requirements on F2P games iirc.

 

[Luipadre]

xbox lmao. Do they even have players on that damn console. Xbox brand is so cooked

 

[RoadHazard]

Wow Xbox. Can't even blame GP for this one.

 

[VitoNotVito]

Those xbox numbers

 

[TintoConCasera]

They know how to sell a game.

 

[Horseganador]

Seriously, Xbox only made 2.7% of the revenue, so that's a bad brand.

 

[Cakeboxer]

The Xbox number is lol. Either they are too clever to spend money on f2p stuff or they are so used to Game Pass, they don't want to spend it a t all.

 

[AfnanAcchan]

There is your answer why many chinese games skip Xbox.

Edit Misread it as Chinese gamers, Ignore my stupid ass

 

[Interfectum]

Steam dominating now.

 

[Mr Moose]

How are these estimates made? What financial report? Best selling when it's a free-to-play game?

 

[clarky]

Not best selling, its the estimated MTX value.

 

[clarky]

Even more impressive is the player retention on this game. its lost basically none of its player base. its only 10% off its all time highs every day after over a month.

Is it any good?

 

[Boo Who?]

I may or may not have contributed to that PlayStation number with Luna and Psylocke purchases. Cant wait to give them money today for the new BP and the Sue/Malice skin.

Yeah. I downloaded it not expecting much and have been playing the shit out of it. If you ever liked Overwatch you will probably like it.

Yes it is. Plenty of characters to choose from to satisfy pretty much any playstyle. Phenomenal netcode. Great modes (practice, vs. A.I., Quick Match, Ranked, and I think a Free For All mode is live today).

The game has been in the top 10 most played games on Xbox. I wonder if this is revealing just how scaled down "most played" really is on Xbox compared to other platforms.

I have it downloaded, I'll give it a shot when I get chance. Thanks for the impressions.

 

[Kerotan]

Xbox turn off (revenue).

 

[poppabk]

They literally just estimated the PlayStation revenue and then multiplied it by the ratio of PS5:Xbox user reviews. Not exactly a robust methodology.

 

[Bert Big Balls]

Fucking shambles. Embarrassing.

Imagine if this 10x more money on Playstation compared to Xbox thing extends to other 3rd party games. WOW!

 

[havoc00]

And this is why these companies keep chasing the f2p and or live service model because when they hit they hit it out of the park. And those Xbox numbers can't be accurate can they? Because that's abysmal if so.

 

[Astray]

It's %100 that imo.

Being "most played" on Xbox is meaningless when the platform population is as low as it is right now.

Also kinda makes Satya's decision to push the new 3P publishing strategy the %100 right call, because even when the platform manages to be part of a rising tide like this game, it can't reap the rewards like the other platforms do.

Imagine if this 10x more money on Playstation compared to Xbox thing extends to other 3rd party games. WOW!

It absolutely did and does. No question of that in my mind.

Nothing else explains the massive U-turn in rhetoric and behavior between 2020/2021 and now

 

[noob smokes]

If this game was on gamepass it would've easily made 270 mil

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Proud of this game! Hope it remains strong and major props for great character designs where female and male characters actually look like their gender and good looking at that too.

Redownloading it on Steam to give it another go.

To be fair, 2.7 million on microtransaction isn't that bad usually on one console, it's just that the PS and especially PC amount made it look really small in comparison.

 

[JTCx]

Those Xbox numbers are laughably terrible. I love it.

 

[mckmas8808]

If this game was on gamepass it would've easily made 270 mil

I can't imagine how much money some of those GP games are losing.

 

[March Climber]

Meanwhile, people actively watching the Steam player count seeing only one set of data slightly drop in number:

 

[Eesha]

They know how to sell a game.

Do take note that the game is in Third Person, so it benefit even futher to have great asses like these.

 

[Mayar]

This is probably the most interesting comment, because this game is constantly in the top 10, and if you open picture number two, it says that the game is in the top 15 best selling-games on Xbox in the US and this is their revenue, I have huge questions about the top 10 on Xbox in general. They seem to have published figures that Microsoft would not like to publish.

 

[Sintoid]

Soooo.... most of this GAAS success is due to PC Gamers... very funny...

 

[Madflavor]

Even more impressive is the player retention on this game. its lost basically none of its player base. its only 10% off its all time highs every day after over a month.

Not to mention it's currently smashing it's previous all time peak. Right now it's currently up to 562k

Is it any good?

I finally tried it last night. Here's my review:

 

[BennyBlanco]

Imagine if this 10x more money on Playstation compared to Xbox thing extends to other 3rd party games. WOW!

Well if this was the split for every game then PC is way more dominant than everyone thought. It's making more money on Netease servers in China alone than Ps + Xbox combined.

Of course, these are all estimates anyway so grain of salt. Anecdotally a ton of my Steam friends list which is mostly irl friends and FGC bros are playing this.

100% of my Steam friends also play this game.

Says the Concord champion.

This one is very good apparently James.

 

[tkscz]

I've yet to play it, but a certain mod has me nearly about to jump in

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I never bought concord, how am I a champion? It's the same shit, GaaS Fortnite chasing TRASH

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Soooo.... most of this GAAS success is due to PC Gamers... very funny...

There's a reason why all the big gacha games in China have PC versions

 

[Nankatsu]

It's a cool game, but once you get past the honeymoon you will realize that the game does a very lousy job rewarding your time in it.

 

[clarky]

Maybe I'm mis-remembering but you were loving the beta? could be wrong and I'm not one for searching. Only messing either way

This is more overwatch than Fortnite apparently. Looks kinda fun if you ask me although I've yet to try it. Seems very popular.

 

[ArtHands]

another sign that PC is the future

Yes, we do have the PCMR to thank for freemium economies and live services.

 

[Hari Seldon]

These F2P games are fantastic if you have impulse control. I will never spend money on this, getting something like this completely free is amazing.

 

[ArtHands]

Yes, we do have the PCMR to thank for freemium economies and live services.

Of course. Thankfully Sony is now following the trend

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Man, those Xbox numbers..

 

[Icymanipulator]

I wonder if they managed to break even on Xbox lmfao
