Over 2 million players during week one and had reportedly become the most popular first-party title on Windows 10. If you are a member of Microsoft's Game Pass you'll have access to the game as well as access to other new games as they arrive.

    Yup, they are quick to point out "they had 2 million players the first week", but then dropped quickly to 100 by the end of the next month (just making a point). Activision and EA both count these as successes too, because it brings in money. That is the measure of success for a large corporation. However, the corporation's measure of success and the consumer's are vastly different in the gaming industry. Luckily, there are some smaller developer/publishers that are still in it to make quality products that last the test of time.

    Wait until the variety streamers on Twitch dump the game because they're no longer getting paid to play it. It's FOTM.

    The game was a letdown. It could be good if they spend some time and update it but right now it’s not worth the grind.

    An empty sandbox with nothing to do, but plenty of marketing behind it.
