no, I believe there is some sort of promotional download thing to preview the game on Xbox. it did NOT sell over a million copies in one week, that's a number directed at the downloads and the number of players who have TRIED the game

You still have to buy it to preview.

It says right there, even before it tells you the price: "Try it free"

I tried it for a bit on PC on a friend's computer and thought it was interesting but not really my thing. Then I tried it more recently for free on XB1 and I was shocked by how terrible the conversion is so far. Visually it looks on par with a bad 360 game, with an extremely low resolution output, uneven frame rate, low res texture work, and ugly animations. The UI is also very clunky and in need of an overhaul. Considering the state the preview is in I'm amazed they have the confidence to charge $35 - it seems they should be charging substantially less if they want to pull people in. Having a lower price might also temper people's expectations (like mine) a bit.

Ah, I see. There is a trial but it only last an hour.

Either way, sounds like its exceeded expectations. As of today its the 8th most active game on Steam. For a console many deem as a shooter box, its surprising news.
