Update: Players keep pouring into Digimon Story: Time Stranger on Steam, and it's not just outdoing its own predecessors – now it's setting records versus some genuine JRPG icons. Persona? Final Fantasy? Nah, PC gamers just want the digital monsters.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger has reached a peak concurrent player count of 70,964, as SteamDB shows. How good is that? Well, it's a bigger number than what's been posted by any Persona or single-player Final Fantasy game that's preceded it.

The negative reviews that do exist call out Time Stranger's 10 DLC packs, some of which aren't even included in the game's £105/$120 Ultimate Edition.
