Excitement surrounding Metaphor: ReFantazio is high, and when reviews declared it one of the best games of the year in the lead-up to its release, the hype surrounding the fantasy RPG only climbed higher still. Now that the game is out, that excitement is being reflected in the numbers that the game is seeing.

As per SteamDB, on Steam, Metaphor: ReFantazio has seen a peak of 61,838 players on Steam. Those are impressive numbers, of course, but become even more so when compared to the numbers seen by some other major RPG releases in recent years.

More specifically, Metaphor’s concurrent players peak on Steam exceeds that of the likes of Persona 3 Reload (45,002 players), Persona 4 Golden (29,283), Persona 5 Royal (35,474), Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (46,161), Final Fantasy 16 (27,508), and Tales of Arise (60,274).

In fact, Metaphor has become one of the most-played Japanese-developed RPGs on Steam by that specific metric. This is also the highest ever concurrent players peak enjoyed on Steam by an Atlus game to date.

Atlus announced that Metaphor: ReFantazio has also already sold over 1 million units worldwide, making it the developer’s fastest-selling game of all time.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PC.
