Scarlet Nexus seems to be doing great, having reached quite a few players since its launch in June 2021, Bandai Namco confirmed.
Today, the Japanese publisher revealed that the game has reached 2 million players worldwide and has sold around 1 million units as of March 2022, as reported by 4Gamer. The game being available on Xbox Game Pass definitely contributed to its popularity, making it reach way more players than units sold.

With masterfully crafted action combat, charming characters, and a very interesting setting, Scarlet Nexus is a game that action RPG fans should definitely not miss. While the game lacks any real innovation, as it features themes and mechanics lifted from other Japanese RPG series, and it is a little too linear, the high quality of the experience makes it easy to look past these few issues, making Scarlet Nexus a memorable, and extremely enjoyable game.
