- Metaphor: ReFantazio has had a pretty successful release, hitting over 85K active players on Steam in a few days.
- The game has already achieved among the highest player counts for single-player JRPGs ever recorded.
- It has also already topped over 1 million in sales figures, proving that Atlus’ new venture has been highly successful.
Those who patiently waited for Metaphor: ReFantazio’s release over the years are certainly eating well right now. Despite such a long wait, the title has become somewhat of a giant and has surpassed many Persona games in its milestones. However, no one expected it to shake the entire JRPG genre in only a couple of days after release.
Alongside a bundle of positive reviews, Metaphor: ReFantazio has now also gained over 85,000 active players on Steam. This massive player count is something that only happens once in a blue moon in the industry. However, the game has now set a new record for single-player entries.
Why it matters: Metaphor: ReFantazio scoring such a massive active player count suggests that Atlus’ new venture has achieved more than mere success. It also shatters any “single-player games are dying” arguments pushed by some in the industry previously.
As per SteamDB, Metaphor: ReFantazio’s high number of active players has made it the highest-ranked single-player JRPG in the industry.
No game in the genre has been so populated right after release, proving that Atlus’ direction towards a new high fantasy IP has been a remarkable success.
It is worth noting that Metaphor: ReFantazio has even more active players across the many platforms where it has been released. It also proves that single-player games are here to stay and are only growing daily.
Metaphor: ReFantazio is highly addicting and features hours upon hours of content steeped with a rich story, an alluring combat system, and memorable characters rarely seen in AAA gaming. The new entry by Atlus has also already sold over a million copies.
