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.

As a JRPG enthusiast I was skeptical with people calling Clair Obscur a JRPG. But then I played it, there are just some characteristics/qualities that align with all the other JRPGs I played. And then it clicked it's definitely a JRPG
