The new game, Digimon Story Time Stranger, is gaining significant traction, peaking at over 70,000 concurrent players on Steam.
Player Interest Surges Above Past Titles
This surge indicates strong sales potential, especially when compared to previous Digimon games. For instance, Digimon Survive peaked at about 6,000 players, while its predecessor, Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth, reached only 3,500.
The current popularity stands out, with many players drawn in, particularly on Steam. The PS5 version’s player count remains unknown, but it ranks seventh in the US PS Store’s digital best-sellers list, ahead of titles like Roblox and Battlefield 6.
Sales Potential and Expectations
If the game continues to perform well, Bandai Namco is expected to provide a sales update soon. Despite its success, the game hasn’t entirely met critical expectations, receiving a 6 out of 10 from reviewers.
The review noted that it “squanders so much potential,” which may affect overall satisfaction among players.
Community Engagement and Feedback
There is considerable interest from fans regarding the game. Many seem to be enjoying Time Stranger, prompting discussions about the review’s perspective.
The mix of high player engagement and critical review may shape future Digimon titles and community expectations.
