There's a lot going for it too though Lots of praise from the gaming press, even Game of the Year wins, how often does a Game of the Year title not sell reasonably well? Baldur's Gate 3 won some GOTY's too and it's been a dormant franchise for quite some time too and it's selling great. Lots of hype from the tech websites, lots of cross-promotion with Nvidia. It's even bundled with a lot of Nvidia GPUs and laptops. Control, the studio's previous game, has developed a pretty good following too. This shouldn't be struggling this hard just to break even. It's not only one of the best looking games ever made, it has GOTY wins/noms, it may not be on Steam, but it is easily available on PC and it's also on the PS5 and XBox which aren't like new systems, we're talking like almost 60 mill PS5s and 25 mill XBox Series consoles. It depends how low you want to set the bar, but I don't view it as a great performance. It's not a bomb like Senua's Saga though and it's not the epic dissapointment sales wise that Starfield is ... those are the bombas of bombas alongside Forspoken and probably FF7 Rebirth. But it should be a game that is gaining some traction and selling well at least on the PS5/XSX. |

Boulders gate 3 is taxing on ps5 and Xbox series x. Perfomance mode is 40-50fps and 30fps and is not even locked. It's not something that could run on last gen consoles with out deep compromise.
Not being on steam and not having physical is a massive disadvantage. We have so much choices for gaming why buy a half assed release on top of that it released near mario wonder and spiderman 2 release date. If didn't do that this game would have been a much bigger success.
