You can like Redfall more or less, there’s nothing written about the likes, but there’s no doubt that the game was a complete failure for Xbox Game Studios. And these are objective data. The game has more negative reviews than positive, and I wish your only problem was just the technical invoice. Arkane’s proposal leaks everywhere, especially in gameplay and level design.
On Steam it went unnoticed, but that’s because on Xbox, where it should have its largest user base, it’s not exactly successful either.
Redfall fails to make even most fans of the game fall in love
Normally when a game comes out, especially multiplayer games, it tends to be in the top 10 for at least two months. And if it’s exclusive to a platform, that’s an added factor that gives it another boost. But there is also another usage multiplier, being in Game Pass.
But none of these factors prevented the game from being relegated out of the top 50 most played games on Xbox Live. We talk about what is well below the minor proposals which have been in the Xbox store for a while now.
It is possible that the game will be injected with more content and new updates; maybe it will help to come back. Going back to what I said earlier, hard data puts the game in an awkward position for Microsoft, which is now going to need a lot of gas and give Starfield a hard time to keep it from costing them too much. What we do know is that Xbox Games Showcase 2023 looks exciting and there are bound to be some big announcements.
