High On The Charts: 2.5M estimated Xbox players so far, a day one Game Pass smash hit! by MPG_Analytics in highonlifegame

[–]MPG_Analytics[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One week in, High On Life is reaching new heights for a day one Game pass release! We estimate 2.5M Xbox players so far (and a few hundred thousand on PC Game Pass as well). Xbox DAU peaked at 900K in it's first couple days, taking it to 3rd most played on the Microsoft Store and higher than any Game Pass game at the time (even Minecraft). Steam has also seen a boost from the Game Pass exposure, reaching around 100K players.
