Yeah just seen even Starfield hit 330k. Baldur's gate peaked at 875k.
Also this game seems to have been in development for ages.
Dragon Age: Veilguard releases with over 60k concurrent players on Steam, biggest release from Bioware, and 'Mixed Reviews'
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date

It's lower than an Atlus JRPG
Dragons Dogma 2 CCU should be the minimum it should do (228k). It's fucking BioWare.
That means nothing nowadays. Capcom also has cultivated the PC space for years while EA...
Well you know how it is, their games weren't even on Steam till 2020 and their PC ports have been garbage(sports games/Dead Space Remake/Jedi games).
Veilguard, even if it was a perfect little game, was never going to reach that number.
BG3 was a lighting in a bottle that doesn't happen often, like Elden Ring.
Expecting every sequel to a somewhat popular franchise to sell 10 million the first week happens 1-4 times a year.
Elden Ring and BG3 were were cultural phenomenons.
BioWare has had a downfall since the release of ME3 and noone should expect Veilguard to do BG3 numbers.
Prior to this version of the game that shipped there were two different other projects that were supposed to be Dragon Age 4.
Although, on that subject, a game's budget is always counted in terms of what actually shipped.
All previous work that was scrapped has already been counted as a loss a long time ago.

So 99% of the people who follow this game on Steam are now playing it. Don't know if this is an indication or not. Since it's Thursday evening 10pm here, but I don't expect expentional growth seeing these numbers.
Follower count is always much lower than wishlist count on Steam.
If you're particularly bored there's a couple links that go into detail when it comes to Steam launches and a bunch of ratios that go along with it:
Why your Steam 'follower to wishlist' multiplier matters!
Also: an interesting mobile indie story; and lots more goodness.

Raw numbers aren't always everything as well, here's some analysis talking about "Velocity" of wishlists/follower count(aka is your wishlist/follower count increasing by a lot the closer the game is coming to launch which equals hype):
-----
On Steam, especially for premium priced releases that launch on Thursday/Friday, 99% of them peak on the upcoming Sunday UNLESS WoM is super toxic then it might peak earlier.
Of course there's outliers that peak on second weekend, but that's BG3/Elden Ring levels type games.
This is actually cool information. Thanks!Follower count is always much lower than wishlist count on Steam.

Why are we expecting BioWare (a company that the internet has slandered relentlessly for well over 7 years) to have amazing numbers? It’s probably gonna have a decent launch.
Discourse around this title really makes me want to try it. It’s either very good or insultingly bad… curious on why it ended up that way. Thing is Inquisition has to be one of the most boring RPGs I’ve ever played. I would never have finished it if the early PS4 era wasn’t so dry

You're right, Concord is a better comparison
Concord was also an exception but it's now the new barometer for success on PC. "Better than Concord" "Wow! Bigger than Concord" PC is so amazing
I know it's useless to argue with steamlickers so I'll let you continue comparing every game to Concord
60K is good?
Many Sony games had similar CCU’s and they sold peanuts on PC.

You use the clown emojii so much I guess that's all you see when you look in the mirror.
Yes, it's good.
What does Steam taste like?You're right, Concord is a better comparison
