They found that 42 of these games got played by a whopping 72.4 million people on Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam!

Wow, Yamazaki really knocked it out of the park with Godzilla Minus One! It’s not just a huge monster movie with amazing effects – it’s a really moving story too. Setting it right after World War II in Japan was a brilliant idea. It made Godzilla’s destruction feel even more powerful, but it also turned the whole thing into a story about people dealing with their past, finding the courage to move forward, and ultimately, finding a way to make things right. It’s a truly special film.
