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 think Persona 6 will inevitably break both this and the internet whenever it finally arrives, but still an amazing achievement. I'm so glad JRPGs are now mainstream to the point of having an amazing genre example like Clair Obscur that isn't even from Japan lol.
