There's still a long way to go if it wants to beat Black Myth: Wukong, though.

Around 250,000 concurrent.

Anyway, very well deserved. The game is amazing.

Might have to pick it up soon. Wasn't the first one on PS+?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times.

Engagement is the healthiest pursuit for all game types, not just multiplayer. Good on the KCDII team.

Couldn't edit the OP post to add this pic on mobile.

 

[BossLackey]

Yep, well deserved. Game is utterly fantastic.

Not without it's faults, and I almost bounced off it, but damn it's got it's hooks in me. Haven't been this obsessed with a game in a long time.

 

[pudel]

Directly behind...wait, what? Kholat?

 

[PanzerCute]

Deserved. What a game!

 

[mayham2199]

Directly behind...wait, what? Kholat?

I had to look at what it was. Survival games do really well on PC. Not for me though.

 

[ssringo]

That's only if you filter out single player games with optional multiplayer as well.

It's impressive but also misleading.

 

[LazyParrot]

Only because they kicked Elden Ring off the list lmao

 

[Kacho]

How is Life is Strange 2 so high?

I dont know. Witcher3 had max peak of 100k, but sold 50mio copies.

How is Life is Strange 2 so high?

No fckn idea. This list is a bit weird.

Yeah, I know "Sons of Forest" and all these stuff...but Kholat I hear the first time. It even has super shitty reviews. What happened there?

 

[Wolves hunt in packs]

Praise be!

 

[GigaBowser]

starfields?

 

[Rush2112]

Less than starfield is not a bragging point.

So it's in a top 10 of cherry-picked games? Quality "journalism" as always

 

[rofif]

Oh yeah... right under kathy rain... life is strange 2 and kholat. pc gaming

Kholat is the exact same picture btw.

 

[Raven117]

What is Kathy Rain?

 

[adamsapple]

What is Kathy Rain?

Looks like a 2D detective game, no idea why it's so popular.

Yeah, I mean...I googled it, but absolutely never heard of it.

 

[pudel]

What is Kathy Rain?

Same one hit wonder (-> free key).

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Do you think Eurogamer has KCD2 at #9, since one of the Top 10s doesn't exist?

 

[clarky]

WTF is this list.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Where is Elden Ring? Baldurs Gate 3?

List is BS.

 

[Sentenza]

Where the hell does this Kathy Rain come from?

Yeah, I mean...I googled it, but absolutely never heard of it.

I even have it in my library (probably some bundle or shit like that). Maybe it was even free at some point, but that STILL doesn't explain how the hell did it get so high in concurrent players.

Where is Elden Ring? Baldurs Gate 3?
List is BS.

They are not considered (exclusively) single player games.

I'm not going to derail this thread but this is gold.

I'm not saying you are wrong. In fact I'm agreeing with you. I'm just saying....I can use this, bwahahahaha. Off to my spin zone!

 

[T_T]

The woke pandering seems to have paid dividends

Didn't even see the reviews. Best guess is it was very hyped up in the community and didn't deliver.

Some abomination in the Legacy of Kain universe....

[Bonfires Down]

List is BS.

Disqualified because they are technically multiplayer.

A bit ridiculous when they include Kholat, Kathy Rain and Life Is Strange which are only there because of free keys and trading card farming.

 

[Denton]

According to its developer, the game was free for 24 hours and had trading cards, so bot farms got attracted.
You can see on SteamDB that it went from 18 players to 348K and next day it dropped to few thousand.
It is...pretty ridiculous. I wish Valve never implemented trading cards and point awards.
