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.

I’ve never seen a game blow up this much from word of mouth alone.

It sold like 500k in a day, it had some decent hype.

Maybe I’m blinded though because I had it pre ordered for like 2 months lol.
