Despite strong reviews, Hellblade 2 is struggling on Steam
With some strong reviews and a Game Pass launch, the Steam release of Hellblade 2 doesn't look incredibly big over on Valve's platform.
Normally this wouldn't be news but given Xbox's recent decisions on game studios this might actually be concerning for Ninja Theory.

I'm not surprised, to be honest. The first game was a success largely because of the interesting hook, which is that Senua is schizophrenic and they immerse you inside her mind by having voice constantly whispering in your ears, or sometimes a voice will rise above the murmur with something helpful, or not.
The actual game play though is not very good, it's actually pretty boring. So even if you were interested in that hook you probably played the first one but you're over it, and if you weren't intrigued enough to play the first one then you'll probably miss the second one too.
