Til trods for en sløvere start end forventet, som hovedsageligt skyldes at udgivelsen lå tæt op af Fallout 4, siger Microsoft at de er tilfredse med spillet og salget. Dette blev afsløret af Microsoft Studios' Marketing-manager Aaron Greenberg i et interview med Dual Shockers:
"It's definitely been a busy Holiday season, that's for sure. We've been pleased with the reaction. I think first you look at reviews that were really really strong... The game is an incredibly high quality game, really fun to play, challenging, I think one of the most beautiful game I've ever seen on the Xbox One."
Greenberg siger også, at Rise of the Tomb Raider har solgt bedre siden Black Friday, og at det kommer til at klare sig godt i juledagene:
"We expect it will be a title that will continue to sell through the Holidays, whereas we have so many games releasing week after week, so we expect that people will come back. They didn't buy one of these titles and there's still a lot of great titles, Halo 5, Star Wars Battlefront, Call of Duty, Fallout 4... There are so many great games in such a short window, that we think that people will continue to buy these titles through Holiday and into next year."
Vi kan kun være enige med Greenberg, for Rise of the Tomb Raider er et fantastisk spil, og fortjener succesen.
