Detroit: Become Human is Quantic Dream’s best game launch ever

Sony had the best-selling console platform of May, and the latest PlayStation 4 exclusive may have helped with that. Detroit: Become Human debuted May 25, and it was the No. 3 best-selling game of the month in the United States, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group. That’s impressive for a PS4 exclusive. What’s even more impressive for developer Quantic Dream is that Detroit is its fastest-selling game through the end of the first calendar month following release.

“Launch month sales of Detroit: Become Human represent a record high for developer Quantic Dream,” NPD analyst Mat Piscatella said. “[Detroit had] sales growth of over 20 percent when compared to [Quantic Dream’s] previous launch month best-seller, Heavy Rain.”
