The recent Steam Charts report, covering the week ending January 29, 2023, highlights the top-selling video games in terms of revenue. Despite not featuring many unexpected titles, the omission of Forspoken from the list is noteworthy. Despite its relatively high price point of $70, Forspoken failed to make the top-seller list, being outperformed by the newly released title, Hi-Fi Rush, which is priced at $30. The success of Hi-Fi Rush is particularly surprising given that it is available on Xbox Game Pass, which allows players to access the game for a low cost, even without a subscription. Despite this, Hi-Fi Rush still recorded strong sales, indicating a high level of demand for the product. Additionally, the almost universal critical acclaim the game received, as well as its status as another major first-party IP from Microsoft, following the success of deathloop, has likely contributed to its success.

But... I thought...

You know what, nevermind.

Good games will sell

It deserves it, I'm about two thirds of the way through

It's just a straight up video game, incredible visuals, unique concept and gameplay, well executed and polished.

I got gamepass ultimate but I'm still going to cop off the strength, great surprise and not the kind of game you would expect as a Xbox first party.

PC players prefer Steam over game pass

To be fair, no one was trying to buy Forspoken …. Hifi looks like a dope game for a lower price . Pretty much an easy choice for pc gamers

P-Hill said Good games will sell

Have you played this?

I'll try anything Mikami is involved with >

Good for Xbox

Finally a good game.

Also, nobody cares about Forspoken. If that's what you're comparing it to then PS5 is clearly winning easily

all of a sudden hifi rush is GOTY for these dudes

the bar is so low because of that drought everything from here on out is GOTY now for xbox

I bet a bunch of these dudes praising it ain’t even play it either. Just seen high review scores and forgot all the times they told us ReViEwS dOnT mAtTeR

This sh*t is fun as hell


I knew nothing about this game leading up to its release

Pleasant surprise

They debuted the trailer at the show then dropped the game right after

The game is polished, fun as fu*k and a breath of fresh air. Simple as that. It comes from a dev with a history of making good games.

Your post makes no sense

Forspoken is a Square Enix game.

Faythung said Forspoken is a Square Enix game.

They might as well be a sony 2nd party at this point.

Though I did enjoy Scarlett Nexus on gamepass.

why even listen to these ponies...?

if the sh*t not 4k-720p Variable Frame rate w/ checkerboard ray tracing and includes a 2 hr movie cut scene and extreme realism textures they dont consider it a game...

leave them buzz k*ll a*s n*ggas alone, their loss...

It makes perfect sense my guy

They haven’t had a game in so long, any game that comes out is GOTY for them

That would be just another indie game on PlayStation. On Xbox it’s “OMG this game is so amazing”. It’s see through and disingenuous

God bless

Name an indie game on playstation 5 right now that’s better than this. Because this isn’t an indie title btw. Or even name a first party sony title that is this refreshing. Closest thing is spiderman, which the traversal system was evolved from an xbox game, sunset overdrive. Returnal was refreshing but I just have more fun playing this. The people have spoken and all user reviews and media. If you can’t give props when it’s due than you’re just a hater, plain and simple.

Sifu and Kena are just as good. Returnal was fresh, bout to drop Horizon VR next month.

Game is dope but lets not diminish how good other games are

The game is getting praise cause they have absolutely no bar set for anything good. It’s really not hard to comprehend

God bless
