1 concord = ~650 players
650 goes into 10 million ~ 15,385 times

Therefore, Marvel Rivals has reached a new milestone!

Will it break 20,000 concords?!? Stayed tuned!

Well deserved imo, and I can’t wait to see where the game goes next, new heroes, new maps, new modes, extremely fun game to just pick up and play, and no huge time commitments.
I’ve been having an absolute blast and basically everyone I know is playing.

Outdated Concord joke is nice and all but anyone know if this game is taking what's left of Overwatch's playercount?

That would be more interesting to see.

How many Eiffel Towers is that?

I don’t know, why don’t you go check and see if OW numbers are generally lower?

I would imagine it’s having at least some impact since the games are so similar, and this is all shiny and new and coming from an established IP.

99% of OW players play on BNet, so checking Steam numbers is worthless for it.

Free Vs. $40. Sony goofed, should have made it free and MAYBE it would still be chugging along, altho it would still be pathetic. I'm more impressed with PoE 2 vs. Marvel given that it's $30 and doesn't have the casual pull of Marvel heroes.

Concord jokes will not be outdated until a game with a bigger budget flops harder.

Ya poe2 is super impressive as well,
They’ve done a good amount of Concords too, very concordy numbers!

Edit diffusionx
I think the first poster may have been one of the 650… it’s a sensitive subject for them

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

is this game third of first person? I might play it while listening to the Concord parody song in the background

 

[Generic]

It will be fogotten in 6 months like Palworld and Helldivers 2.

Helldivers 2 is still doing well?

I play on PS5 and numbers are healthy there and steam too? I’m confused?

Or if a game doesn’t grow infinitely it’s dead?
Something here doesn’t make sense.

 

[Plague Doctor]

You must be American.

I prefer to use the Dustborn system of measurement.

OW2 seems to be trending upwards given the most recent Steam reviews, concurrent players seem to be heading towards launch numbers slowly but steadily.

 

[Party McHardy]

Metric of the forever.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Metric of the forever.

We must all do our part to never forget.
And never let Sony and other companies forget.

This way at least Concord will be *something*; stand for *something*

Palworld is consistently top 50 on Steam in fact in the last month it has seen growth in concurrent players.
Helldivers 2 while outside the top 50 has been holding a steady number of players for months.

You mean the news cycle isnt talking about the games?
Of course not even the number one game on steam is outside the news cycle.

 

[linkroi]

I find the game pretty fun for the moment, it's an overwatch clone, but a good one and the Marvel Ip appeal to a wider audience, will see how it goes in the future.

 

[Lambogenie]

I'm here to rinse and my argume of appealing characters make a massive difference vs whatever the hell Concord was.

Good job to Netease. The characters look great, the game is fun. Movement is a bit slow and maps are a bit dry compared to OW but nothing that is a deal breaker so far. Wish there were more frequent things to unlock. Games used to be fun to also unlock cool stuff but now it's all behind money. So frustrating.

Both still doing very well. And that's just steam numbers

 

[KiteGr]

Americans will use anything but the Metric system...

I have no idea what you’re looking for here.

We’ve had some good interactions in the past so it saddens me to see you try and shit on the topic in the first post, and then continue to be dense. This topic is *obviously* tongue in cheek and poking fun at concord because it was such a large and prominent target and it failed spectacularly for all to see. It’s also the biggest recent flop in a while.

If you want to dig deeper into the data or how it affects OW or other hero shooters I would encourage you to do so. You seem interested in it. Then post your findings here .

We don’t know the game’s budget though. And random youtubers / tweets don’t count

One of the best Avatar quotes ive seen recently.
People are playing the games instead of just talking about them.
Thats actually a good thing.

Sometimes Gaffers really puzzle me at how out of touch they are considering we are supposed to be an enthusiast gaming forum.

At least it won't have, 'shuttered in two weeks, everyone refunded, studio closed, $400m wasted headlines'

Tried it last night. I hate that it's third person. Pass.

Of course not even the number one game on steam is outside the news cycle.

The current player counts for HD2 & Palworld would have secured a spot on Steam's top10 most played games 10 years ago and was considered very healthy numbers for stable MP populations.
Now you need 100k+, really shows how the platform grows.

 

[Evil Calvin]

It's fucking free to play..............

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

15.3 kiloConcords, not bad at all

 

[Spukc]

This is why we don’t get a new marvel ultimate alliance game..

Shit tier hero shooter gaas sheit

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Is this how we measure things now? Shit! I got about half a Concord in my pants.

You probably haven't even played the game. It's polished and fun as fuck. And this is coming from someone who typically can't stand hero shooters.

 

[N30RYU]

Thanks for playing my ass... give me free credit so I can buy the Ironman Endgame skin...


Also I can't stand how bad they make on purpose the ironman helmet not to look like the so called hero "icon"... so you have to buy the skin

I will admit this is one thing that bugs me too, the helmet on the default costume is slightly off, but I don’t want to buy the endgame costume… need to stay strong lol

Also there could definitely be more unlockables while progressing through the game.
But it is what it is, and I am having fun playing it so I’ll just deal for now.

Hopefully they will send out some rewards or something for various milestones in the future.
