Did they officially break a record?

I'm pretty sure that more than 1 million players played GTA V in its first 2 days when 11.21 million units were sold within its first 24 hours:

MS didn't specify but if they did break a record that would probably be it.

Benji said it's selling "Ok" at retail

I used my 14 days game pass trial to give this game a shot. Played around 5 hours and got to say it's a very good game! I find it has lots on common with XCOM games and I'm a fan of those. This is just as addictive and fun.

I never played the original so everything is fresh for me. I don't know how unforgiving SoD is compared to XCOM. My medic just died and now I'm worried it'll cost me in a long run heh.

I'll probably buy it since I've played all the game pass games I find interesting.

It doesn't say much if it's included on the game pass. My guess is Microsoft will keep releasing this kind of statement for every game they release (just like they did with Sea of Thieves), but they'll never disclose what percentage of those people actually bought the game for its retail price.

Well, if that's true, then you just made me a bit more interested.

Which is silly but there is no use complaining about PR for the sake of PR.

Did they give actual sales numbers?

These spins are getting ridiculous. It’s kinda sad one can’t take anything of their PR serious anymore.

They even invent their own records now.

Game is actually pretty good :) I love it so far and I am not surprised by this number.
Everyone with Game Pass should give a it try; well worth the time (or even to get GamePass for one month if you just want to try it, game is really fun).

That is impressive sales. Even if it includes trials and such. I will be honest i didn't think it would do so well.
