Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice sold over 2 million in first 10 days

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has been off to an excellent start. From Software's latest masterpiece reviewed well across the board and earned ‘Must Play' status on Metacritic. Activision seems to be pleased with how things are going too, with confirmation that Sekiro sold over two million copies within its first ten days out.

Activision doesn't typically publish games like Sekiro. In fact, nowadays, Activision is perhaps best known for multiplayer titles, including Call of Duty and Destiny, alongside Blizzard's batch of titles. With Sekiro selling well across all platforms, perhaps we'll see Activision put more money into hardcore single-player games once again.

Aside from the 90+ Metacritic rating and high sales, Activision also boasted about Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice being the most viewed game on Twitch at launch. Within its first week, over 1.1 billion minutes worth of the game were watched.

KitGuru Says: I've never been great at the Souls games but I've been really enjoying Sekiro's fast paced combat. Have many of you been playing this since launch? Have you managed to finish the whole game yet?

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
