Could be a Microsoft requirement in which case they should probably drop said requirement in specific cases.

But if they can get it working on those minimum specs for PC, I see absolutely zero reason they can't get it working for Series S.

Maybe they haven't been developing on Xbox for that long, PC has been in early access for years.

Even Microsoft's first party studio can't get split screen coop running for a certain lego game, so not surprising that third party devs struggle as well.

• The Ascent- 161k
• Grounded- 177k
• TMNT Shredder's Revenge- 181k
• Crackdown 3- 190k
• Outriders- 233k
• Golf With Your Friends- 247k
• Back 4 Blood- 296k
• The Outer Worlds- 309k
• State of Decay 2- 379k

Based on the way it is tracking currently after just 3 days, I'd guess that Atomic Heart will eventually land somewhere between Crackdown 3 and Outriders most likely.

Octopath Traveler having more tracked users than Persona 5 is something I totally haven't expected. And that's with all the marketing effort that Microsoft has made for P5 release.

To be fair, Octopath's first achievement is earlier in the game than Persona 5, in Octopath you only need to scrutinize someone for the first time to get an achievement which you can do within minutes of playing, in Persona 5 I think I heard the first achievement is 2-3 hours into the game, so more people may have tried Persona 5 and then quit without ever unlocking an achievement and being registered as a player on True Achievements, compared to Octopath where people can try it, get an achievement within minutes, and then quit while still being registered as a player on TA.

Also Octopath has been on Gamepass for nearly 2 years and is probably leaving Gamepass next month, which will slow it's growth on TA considerably, Persona 5 has only been out for less than 5 months. So Persona 5 could eventually surpass it lifetime possibly, especially if it was a multi-year Gamepass deal and isn't removed after just 1 year.

It's also worth noting that Persona 5 has a much higher completion rate than Octopath, there are campaigns in Octopath that as few as 7% of TA users have completed, whereas Persona 5 has a 23% rate of people getting the achievement for seeing the ending, and 10% (5600+ TA users) have got the full 1000 GS, which takes over 100 hours, compared to just 346 TA users getting the full 1000 GS on Octopath.

It's also worth noting that Persona 5 has already surpassed most of the Yakuza games from Sega which have been on Gamepass much longer, only Yakuza 0 and Yakuza 7/Like A Dragon are still above Persona 5, and the way Persona 5 is tracking it may eventually pass Like a Dragon. 0 is likely out of reach for Persona 5 though, it has 119k players on TA so far, more than double what Persona 5 has gotten after 4+ months.
