Detroit: Become Human PS4 PC PlayStation

Quantic Dream's 2018 sci-fi thriller Detroit: Become Human has become something of a sleeper hit. The developer announced that the title has passed the nice, round 10 million copies sold milestone on PS4 and PC.The studio points out that these are paid units, so presumably, even more, picked it up via services like PS Plus.

Last we heard, the David Cage choose-your-own-adventure had pushed some six million sales back in 2021. Published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, it seems the bet was wise, and plans to expand the IP continues apace. NetEase has fully acquired Quantic Dream in the years since, and a reputedly pretty good manga spin-off has been released.

Did you pick up a copy or two of Detroit: Become Human and contribute to that impressive sales number? What are your memories of the PS4 classic? Did it make an impression? Let us know in the comments section below.

@Sequel It's not bad, but in my opinion Heavy Rain and Fahrenheit were more memorable.

Excellent game! It's a shame Sony let Quantic Dream get away. I liked the fruits of their partnership.

I really enjoyed Detroit and i think it's better than Beyond Two Souls and arguably a bit better than Heavy Rain.

But what happened to QD and Star Wars Eclipse?

I quite liked this game despite having doubts about it being anything but passable when it first came out. The writing was terrible but the premise of the story really opened my eyes to how human dependency to tech can be to the detriment of us all (the poorer especially) and that corporations not being firmly regulated could lead us to this point in humanity.

Also, it was fun knowing two of the lead actors in the game (Jesse Williams & Minka Kelly) were having an affair during the making of the game

@PuppetMaster its in development hell , and they announced it way too soon. for all we know it could be 2028/2029

Was my first Quantic Dream game, on pc. Also part of the reason i bit on a ps5. Too bad sony doesn't make these anymore.

@TicklefistCP funny enough People made fun of them when they did but they haven't completely abandoned these types of games as ballistic moon and did the until dawn remake and most likely potential sequel.

This was a very memorable game for me, even if it had all the trappings of “in your face” stuff from David Cage. It was my favorite out of the three games from him.

Probably my favorite game of this genre. Although Quantic Dream has certainly fallen from grace in recent years. Not to mention it’s a studio that appears to have vanished into thin air as far as ongoing projects.

Never cared for QD's games but I do really like this one. Felt like there was more action and control of events than in other games of this type. Also had a compelling story and characters.

Great game. Glad it's sold quite well

It is my second favorite game from David behind only Heavy Rain, actually I like/love all his games. Maybe he can make a comeback someday if he ever manages to remove his face from his a**.

@Perturbator Heavy Rain definitely had the most meme potential but Detroit is peak Quantic Dream cheese.
