stepee Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 You can also play it via gamepass on your surface! You could even connect your dualshock to it and not have to buy a gamepad even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I’m really hoping my rig can run it with good settings at or just north of 60fps. There’s no RT so I’m hopeful there will be enough overhead for my GPU to do it at 1440p without FSR making everything a blurry mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’re not going to find out until review embargo’s have been lifted. there’s a part of me wondering how much games they’ll be playing too. Like will review copies only be for Series X, with the PC version not playable until Sept 1 when everyone else with a deluxe edition can play it on PC.

I’m thinking at least at launch it’s probably more investment than I want to put into a game right now, that may be part of it. Also all I want in the world is Super Mario Wonder so it’s hard to be hyped for anything in comparison. Edit: I expect a cpu bottleneck with it and it won’t have dlss3 on launch so I do not expect 120fps either until PureDark mods it, which to be fair, he’s already committed to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The peak online number of players on team today was 27 million. Counter-Strike GO is the most played game with 1.2 million people playing. BG3 is the 3rd most played game with 600k people.

Concurrent numbers need to be multiplied several times over to even estimate total copies sold. Obviously not everyone who bought the game plays it at the same time. For example, the Witcher 3's all-time high player count was 103,329, but it sold 12 million copies on Steam. Obviously there's a decade of the game being on the store to factor in, various sales, etc, but concurrents aren't just everyone playing at once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, BG3 releases for PS5 on September 6th, but now with all the hype from the PC release. that still always seemed low to me for a brand new game. Like I remember when Halo games used to come out you’re seeing concurrent players online in the millions on Xbox. Same when COD would come out. If every switch was online showing concurrent players you’d have seen players in the millions for TotK and most major Nintendo releases. So it always seems odd to me the store front with the largest users and market share on PC by far, any game being under 1 million concurrent players during every peak play session in the game first week of release is still considered “good”. BG3 sold like 2.5 million units in EA alone. So you’d think concurrent players would be easily above at least 1 million at launch at some point and grow as the number of copies sold since launches increases. It’s not like it’s a short game you beat in an afternoon. It’s something most will be playing for days and days, if not weeks and weeks.
