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.

The game is absolutely amazing in almost all aspects. I am not a single player gamer for the most part I start to competitive game play as single player games normally don't hold my attention unless theyre REALLY good.. and this game is beyond that. The artwork is amazing from the music, to the characters clothing, to the enviroments, I cannot believe how immersed this game makes you feel. JRPG or RPG, whatever you want to call it, I can tell you its best of whatever genre it's a part of.
