News Clair Obscur has achieved the highest concurrent player rate ever for a JRPG on Steam.

Incredible numbers, this doesn't even include the Xbox Gamepass player count. The last time I remember a JRPG getting this level of attention was Persona 5 and NieR Automata in 2017. It'll be interesting to see how massive Persona 6 will be, if it launches day 1 on all major platforms.

It's a JRPG.

Elden Ring was made in Japan, but it's not a JRPG. Clair Obscure wasn't made in Japan, but it's a JRPG. You don't have to be from a certain part of the world to make a certain kind of game.
