The new title, Digimon Story: Time Stranger, recently launched and quickly garnered a player base exceeding 80,000 on Steam, making it one of the most successful entries in the franchise. This game is a sequel to the 2015 title Cyber Sleuth and is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam.

Success on Steam

Following its release on October 2, the game achieved an impressive feat by ranking among the top five grossing games on Steam, reaching around 85,000 concurrent players. To put this into perspective, the previous title’s Complete Edition only peaked at about 4,000 players, which shows a remarkable growth trajectory.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger currently has an 85% positive rating on Steam, marking it ‘Very Positive’ overall. Its popularity was anticipated prior to launch, as there were indications of strong demand, including warnings from the developer, Media.Vision, about potential shortages of physical copies at launch due to excessive wishlisting.

At launch, the game was also subjected to mixed reviews. While many praised the gameplay, some players criticized Bandai Namco Entertainment for what they felt was misleading marketing regarding the Ultimate Edition’s contents.

Availability

The game is sold in three digital formats: Base ($70), Deluxe ($100), and Ultimate ($120). Additionally, a Collector’s Edition is available for around $200, which includes physical collectibles and digital bonuses.

For further details, players are encouraged to check for availability on Steam or their favorite gaming platforms.
