Detroit: Become Human has sold over 10 million copies, developer Quantic Dream has announced.
That’s 10 million paid units across PlayStation and PC, Quantic Dream qualified. Given Detroit: Become Human is on-and-off a part of various subscription services such as PS Plus, its total number of players will be much higher.
“We are extremely grateful to each and everyone out there who played the game,” Quantic Dream CEO Guillaume de Fondaumière tweeted. “You mean the world to us and we couldn’t have achieved this incredible milestone without every single one of you!”
Detroit: Become Human is a sci-fi thriller that first launched on PlayStation 4 in May 2018, before launching on PC in December 2019, and followed Quantic Dream’s other PlayStation interactive thrillers Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls. IGN’s Detroit: Become Human review returned an 8/10. We said: “Detroit: Become Human is a wonderfully silly interactive drama that meaningfully bends to your will.”
Since going on sale, Detroit: Become Human was turned into a manga, but there’s been no mention of a sequel, a remaster, a full-blown remake, or even a native PS5 version. On the PS5, Detroit: Become Human runs via backwards compatibility using the PS4 Pro version of the game.
As for Quantic Dream, it’s still working on Star Wars Eclipse, a new action adventure game set in the High Republic era of Star Wars, although we haven’t heard a peep out of the game in years. Last year, the studio told IGN that Star Wars Eclipse development was “simmering.”
