Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson in the company's earnings call announced Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has reached "millions of players" in the first few weeks.

"Within the first few weeks, millions of players have joined Cal Kestis and BD-1 in their rebellion against the Empire," said Wilson (via VideoGamesChronicle).

He added, "On Jedi, we’re overjoyed. We made the bold decision to move the title six weeks to give the team the opportunity to really get to the quality of the game that they wanted."

"I think we’re building on where we were with Jedi: Fallen Order and it’s certainly been a very strong launch for us. It’s very early, I think we’re 11 days in at this point, we’re in a different kind of market dynamic, but I would tell you it’s pacing very strongly against our expectations and against Jedi: Fallen Order."

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor released for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam on April 28.

Reaching "millions of players" could include multiple people with different accounts playing it on the same device, on platforms (such as Xbox) that allow that under certain circumstances.

I also wonder if this game has a free trial for EA Play members (as many EA games do), as that could also inflate the number.

That said, I don't doubt this game has sold at least reasonably well.
