Detroit: Become Human Sales Reached The 5 Million Mark
/ TMGQuantic Dreams released a press release stating that sales for their interactive story-driven Detroit: Become Human have reached over five million copies across all platforms.
Detroit: Become Human first launched on the PS4 back in 2018 but eventually found it’s way to the Epic Games Store in 2019, and is now available on Steam since last June.
Detroit received an update when it launched on Steam implementing the Community Play feature, which allows Twitch streamers and their viewers to collectively make a decision in-game. It looks like it’s a popular extension for streamers as the feature has registered more than 1.5 million votes from viewers to date.
“Launching Detroit: Become Human on Steam has been a delightful experience for us,” said Quantic Dream co-CEO and head of publishing Guillaume de Fondaumiere in a press release. “The response we’re seeing has been incredibly positive, in particular in Asian markets. We are also thrilled by the response garnered by the concomitant release of our Community Play extension for streamers and viewers on Twitch, which elevated a fundamentally single player game into a social experience.”
Detroit: Become Human is now available on Steam and currently costs PHP 1,259.99.
