I've only got 2 hours playtime and I enjoyed it and will play more. I'm happy that the game I'd doing good and it seems like game pass is helping Xbox games reach millions of players so that pretty good.

Game is great fun, glad to see its doing well.

MS needs to stay releasing poorly reviewed games, it's seems to be working out for them.

That PR spin lol first 48 hours WW......yet includes the people who paid 50 last friday....basically 6 days instead of 2.

Atleast 400k of that has to be from actual buys... in its first 2days. (*edit: 6days with the early access)

Oh yeah, some got eary access right? if they paid abit more.

It says over a million in the first two days of Global release so I don't think they're including the early access version.

We don't know about sales but it could be 400k. Vgc has SoT at about 200k fw but ZhugeEX said a few weeks back that half of it's sales ate digital so 400k would probably be SoT fw sales but I doubt SoD2 had as much hype as SoT but it's still good to see lots of people playing it.

What record did it break?

State of Decay 1 sold 250k in it's first 2 days so SoD2 probably broke records for the IP.

Going good for itself so far.

The eventual Steam release should push it further along.
