Detroit: Become Human, the PlayStation 4 exclusive released by Quantic Dream on May 25th, 2018, was the last project borne out of the exclusive agreement the French studio had signed with Sony. This sparked speculation that Quantic Dream could go multiplatform in the future and yesterday's announcement of a deal made with NetEase confirmed as much.
David Cage, Founder and CEO of Quantic Dream, was interviewed by GamesBeat ahead of this reveal. He revealed that Detroit: Become Human did very well in Japan and across all Asia, with global sales now 'closing in' on the three million units sold milestone.

Detroit is certainly a radical proposition for some people, but the most important thing for us was the amazing reception the game received from gamers, which has translated into our studio's biggest commercial success to date. Eight months following the release, we are closing in on 3 million units sold worldwide as an exclusive PS4 title. The game's commercial performance has been particularly noteworthy in Japan and across all Asia.
The game also got very high user scores. On Metacritic for instance, Detroit: Become Human has an 87 percent average user score. That was the 7th best user-rated PS4 game of 2018 and enabled us to enter the Top 20 of the best ever user-rated PS4 games.
The community supporting the game is absolutely amazing and we are delighted to see how Detroit is able to bring people together around the world. This reception is really energizing for the whole team and we are extremely grateful for that.
