It’s clear that people are interested in it
We recently discussed The Walking Dead: Destinies’ release and how it could be a contender for the worst game of 2023, but it’s still been a popular launch according to the “Top Paid” Xbox charts!
If we just look at the UK, TWD: Destinies is actually fifth on the list of the most popular paid games right now, ahead of Red Dead Redemption 2 and Hogwarts Legacy. It’s not uncommon to see new releases climb to the top of these charts, but this is still a very high position to hold.
As we mentioned in our most recent post about TWD: Destinies, the game’s user reviews on the Xbox Store aren’t all that bad right now, though they’ve been declining since earlier this week. It now has a 2.6/5 rating from over 200 reviews in the United States and a 2.8/5 rating from just over 80 reviews in the United Kingdom.
We do have a couple of critics’ reviews to share as well – GameReactor gave the game a harsh 2/10 in their verdict earlier today, while Cogconnected.com gave it a more lenient 50/100.
But if TWD: Destinies maintains its high level of popularity on Xbox and elsewhere, we don’t think publisher GameMill Entertainment will be too concerned about the critics’ opinions! It’s early days, and the initial buzz will fade quickly, so it’ll be interesting to see if it can maintain its chart position for much longer.
