Detroit: Become Human hits new milestone with 15 million copies sold

12 janvier 2026 à 19:00

Detroit: Become Human is the latest game from French studio Quantic Dream. Released back in 2018 for PS4 (and PC one year later), the story-focused title saw a mixed reception, with many loving it and others not so much. Despite this, the game has gone on to be a big success for the studio. While fans continue to wait for the studio’s Star Wars Eclipse, Detroit: Become Human has quietly been selling millions more copies – with the title having now surpassed 15 million units sold.

Making the announcement via LinkedIn, the official Quantic Dream page wrote: “We are proud to announce that Detroit: Become Human has surpassed 15 million units sold worldwide;” confirming that the title is now “Quantic Dream’s best-selling game to date.”

15 million

For context, Detroit: Become Human reached 8 million copies sold back in January of 2023. This then rose to 9 million by December of the same year – with the game hitting the 10 million mark in October of 2024. Finally, the most recent figures put the game at 11 million copies sold as of February 2025 – meaning it sold a further 4 million copies in less than a year.

Given the game’s relatively mixed reception, it is interesting to see Detroit: Become Human continuing to sell this well so many years later. That said, considering the fact that we are still waiting for the next project from Quantic Dream to be released, it is fortunate for them that the now 7 year old title is continuing to find millions of new players.

KitGuru says: What do you think of Detroit: Become Human? Are you surprised by its continued success? How many more years do you think we’ll have to wait for Star Wars Eclipse? Let us know down below.

Larian confirms Baldur’s Gate 3 won’t be coming to Switch 2

12 janvier 2026 à 18:00

One of the biggest video game successes in recent years has been Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3. Released back in 2023, the RPG took the industry by storm, winning countless awards and selling over 20 million copies. With the Switch 2 launching last year, many have been hoping to see the RPG come to Nintendo’s platform at some point. Unfortunately, Larian have given a seemingly definitive answer.

As part of a recent AMA conducted by Larian Studios on Reddit, roughly a dozen developers from the studio were present to answer fan questions regarding Baldur’s Gate, Divinity or whatever else came to mind.

Responding to one user who asked “Baldur’s Gate 3 for Switch 2? Is it even possible?” Larain’s CEO Swen Vincke offered some disappointing yet interesting details, stating: “We would have loved to but it’s (sic) wasn’t our decision to make.”

Larian Switch

Though we unfortunately did not get any further details, Vincke’s wording seems to suggest that the decision to not make a Switch 2 port came from higher-up the ladder – namely the D&D IP owners Wizards of the Coast / Hasbro.

Of course, that’s not to say that a port for Switch 2 could never happen. After all, money talks and assuming the IP owners think that a port of BG3 would make them more money then it could still materialise down the line – perhaps when the Switch 2 has further matured.

We will have to wait and see, but don’t expect Baldur’s Gate 3 to come to the Switch any time soon…if ever.

KitGuru says: Are you disappointed by this confirmation? Would the Switch 2 be able to handle BG3? Why do you think Hasbro / WotC said no? Let us know down below.

Fable reportedly launching day-one on PS5 according to insider

12 janvier 2026 à 17:00

Following some slight teasers, Microsoft officially confirmed that they would be hosting their annual Xbox Developer Direct Showcase this month – with the stream set to go live on the 22nd of January. Said to focus on Forza Horizon 6, GameFreak’s Beast of Reincarnation and the highly-anticipated Fable reboot, the latter is reportedly planned to launch day-one on PS5 according to insiders.

In the lead-up to 2026’s Xbox Developer Direct, known industry insider Andy Robinson of VGC offered some early details on the upcoming showcase, claiming that the long-awaitied Fable will be announced as a day-one release for PS5 alongside its expected Xbox launch – stating:

“Fable is day and date (on PS5), that's what I've been told[…] I know they have been targeting PS5 for a while.”

Fable Forza

Given that Forza Horizon 5 was only ported to PS5 relatively recently, there was not much of an expectation that its sequel would arrive day-and-date with the Xbox release. Even so, Robinson offered some additional details on this matter, claiming: “As for Forza the explanation I was told by someone who was there was it just wasn't ready.”

Between Forza and Fable, having the latter as a day-one release makes the most sense, not only due to the fact that Horizon 5 is still relatively new to the PS5 platform, but also due to the upcoming RPG likely needing as much help as it can get sales-wise (especially compared to Forza).

Regardless, we should hopefully learn all about these two upcoming titles when the Xbox Developer Direct goes live on the 22nd of January.

KitGuru says: Are you looking forward to the Direct? Which of the confirmed games are you most excited to learn more about? Would you rather Fable or Forza launch day-one across multiple platforms? Let us know down below.

Steam breaks concurrent player record with over 42 million users

12 janvier 2026 à 16:00

While Steam is easily the biggest platform for gaming on the PC side of things, Valve’s storefront continues to find new players on a consistent basis. Just a few months on from their last major milestone, Steam has officially reached a new peak concurrent player count of over 42 million users.

As published by the tracking site SteamDB, Sunday the 11th of January saw Valve's platform reach a new milestone figure, with over 42 million users all online at the same time (42,042,778 to be exact).

As mentioned, this marks a notable increase over the previous record, which saw Steam hit 41 million back in October of last year. That said, the platform has been growing quite quickly for the past few years now, with it hitting 34 million concurrents for the first time back in March of 2024.

Since then, Steam seems to have been on a roll, with the platform hitting 36 million just a few weeks later; surpassing 37 million by August 2024 – and reaching 39 million by December.

Steam 42 million

While 2025 was slightly slower, we still saw record player numbers multiple times, with Steam hitting 40 million concurrents in March of 2025 and then 41 million by October.

Of course, concurrent users is but one metric which can be used to determine a service’s success – with daily active users, monthly active users and more being arguably more useful metrics. Still, having over 42 million people active on Steam at the exact same time is impressive. It will be curious to see whether the platform ever manages to reach 50 million concurrents.

KitGuru says: Were you online this past Sunday? Is concurrent players a useful metric? How long do you think it’ll take for the platform to hit 50 million? Let us know down below.

The Division 3 is “shaping up to be a monster” according to Ubisoft

12 janvier 2026 à 15:00

The Division is one of Ubisoft’s more interesting franchises. While the first game disappointed many due to a number of visual downgrades when compared to its pre-release materials, the series did find a dedicated audience who enjoyed the gameplay loop. That said, it’s now been almost 7 years since The Division 2’s launch and while fans await the previously-announced 3rd entry, Ubisoft have offered some slight teasers, claiming it to be “shaping up to be a monster.”

During the New Game+ Showcase, The Division 3’s executive producer Julian Gerighty offered an update on the long-awaited threequel.

While we did not get any footage of the title, according to Gerighty: “It’s shaping up to be a monster. I can’t really say anything more than that. But this is within these walls in Massive. We are working extremely hard on something that I think will be as big an impact as Division 1 was.”

The Division Ubisoft

As mentioned, while The Division as a series does have its problems, the first game did indeed make a big impact back in the day – especially in its pre-release period where the game served as a bit of a then-next-gen showpiece.

Given that we’ve seen nothing from The Division 3 yet, it is possible that Ubisoft are planning to line the title up with the next-gen PS6, which would make for quite a notable upgrade over 2019’s Division 2. Regardless, here’s to hoping that when The Division 3 is shown off that Ubisoft are more honest in their presentation of the title.

KitGuru says: Are you excited for The Division 3? How different do you expect it to be when compared to the previous two entries? Will it be a next-gen launch title? Let us know your thoughts down below.

Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed officially launches on PS5 next month

12 janvier 2026 à 14:00

While Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed failed to live up to the high expectations which some fans had for the title upon its release last year, the Xbox console exclusive was a solid title in its own right – even if it wasn’t the Skyrim successor which many were hoping for. With updates to the game still planned for 2026, a PS5 port for Avowed has now been officially announced – set to launch exactly one year on from its Xbox release.

Announced during the recent New Game+ Showcase, Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed has been officially confirmed to be launching on PlayStation 5 next month; arriving on the 17th of February 2026 (almost exactly one year on from its Xbox release).

Available to pre-order now for £39.99 (£49.99 for the Premium Edition), the PS5 release will arrive alongside the game’s long-awaited ‘Winter Update’ (which was initially planned to release late last year).

Avowed PS5

Now labelled as the Anniversary update, the patch is set to include the long awaited new game+ mode alongside a new weapon type; character presets; appearance modifiers; new races; a photo mode and more.

As mentioned, Avowed was a decent game in its own right though was held back due to fans expecting it to be the next Skyrim-like experience. With a pretty fun first-person magic combat system and solid exploration however, Avowed could be worth checking out when it launches on PS5 next month.
