Detroit: Become Human is the latest game from French studio Quantic Dream. Released back in 2018, the game 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 – having now officially sold over 9 million copies.

Making the announcement on Twitter, the official Quantic Dream page said “We are approaching the end of the year, and we are proud to announce that the Detroit: Become Human community has grown by 1 million since the beginning of 2023. That’s 9 million reasons to thank you all for being part of this adventure and sharing the stories of Connor, Kara and Markus.”

As mentioned by the studio, Detroit: Become Human hit 8 million copies sold back in January of this year, and so to see the console exclusive continuing to sell consistently more than 5 years on is impressive to say the least – and it’s a good thing too as Quantic Dreams’ Star Wars title is still nowhere to be seen.

KitGuru says: What do you think of Detroit: Become Human? What is your favourite Quantic Dream game? Will Detroit sell 10 million copies before Star Wars Eclipse comes out? Let us know down below.

Over the last two decades, Quantic Dream has made a name for itself as a PlayStation-loyal studio. That began to change last year, with the studio taking its first step towards multi-platform development by releasing hits like Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human on PC. Moving forward, the studio hopes to be entirely independent, which includes self-publishing future games.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has been a publishing partner for Quantic Dream for many years for PlayStation exclusives. When the studio decided to bring some of its biggest games to PC last year, that included self-publishing on the Epic Games Store. This self-publishing mindset it something we can apparently expect moving into the future too.

Quantic Dream mentioned all of this in a recent blog post combing over the studio's 23-year history:

“For the first time in 23 years of working with prestigious publishers, we are now in a position to self-publish. This new venture will allow us to make decisions in total independence, and to address the technological and strategic opportunities of next-generation platforms. It will also allow us to help other developers, by providing investment and development support, so that they can fully express their talents. We want to support creators of original projects and help them, in turn, to achieve their vision and offer quality, ground-breaking experiences.”

Quantic Dream refers to this as a “transformation” for the studio, which will enable creative freedom and multiplatform releases across all consoles and PC. Currently, we don't know what the studio has planned next, but we may well hear about its next big game at some point this year.

KitGuru Says: I thoroughly enjoyed Detroit: Become Human and Heavy Rain, so I'm interested in seeing what this studio comes up with next. What do you all think of QD's decision to go multi-platform and self-publish? It will be a big financial burden to take on, but as long as good games continue to appear, strong sales should also continue.

Earlier this year, Quantic Dream announced that three of its former PlayStation exclusive games would be heading to PC as part of the studio’s initiative to turn multi-platform. Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls have both arrived on PC already, accompanied by demos so that users can check the game out before buying. Now in a few weeks time, Detroit: Become Human will also be coming to PC. 

Detroit: Become Human is perhaps Quantic Dream's best game to date, with a story that switches between multiple key characters and multiple twists and turns along the way. As with the studio's other titles so far, Detroit will be releasing on the Epic Games Store first, with a release set for the 12th of December.

We don't know what Quantic Dream is working on for its next big release but we do know that the studio's platform-exclusive days are officially over. With that in mind, if you enjoy the older games, then you can expect to see future titles also heading to PC in addition to consoles.

Detroit: Become Human will cost £29.99 at release on the Epic Games Store. A Steam release has not been confirmed.

KitGuru Says: I really enjoyed Detroit: Become Human on PS4, although I'm not sure I'll be revisiting it for its PC release. Have any of you picked up one of the Quantic Dream games since coming to PC? Will you be looking to play Detroit before the end of the year?
