From SteamDB's FAQSo SteamDB can't even track it?
Requires their own bot to track players

Why do you not track player counts for advanced access games?
When games are available early to pre-purchase owners or deluxe package owners (this is called "Advanced Access") the way it works is that there is a release state override for these owners, but the game itself is not released. As such, most community features are not available until the official release including viewing others' achievements, family sharing, getting the player count, and more.
It is possible to get CCU from an account that owns the game with early access. Because of this, it is possible to make SteamDB track games like it, but it requires our bot to own the game with advanced access.
If you are a game publisher, please donate a key to your game (or provide it using curator connect) so we can track player counts.
Apparently Firewalk hasn't donated a key as requested, probably hoping they can avoid 3 days of negative hype before the full release.
