446K, damn it, thought I was being smart by waiting a few hours.
This shit is crazy. I logged out when my team disconnected and can't get back in.

I've said for awhile the COD/Fortnite casual shooter crowd has been starving for something different for awhile
I do think the devs are missing a killer blow by not considering a PVP update at all

On a Tuesday no less, the further along a game peaks during the weekday, the more chance of the game peaking on the subsequent weekend.
Arrowhead back end devs dying out here, no pressure on them of course
I wonder how long people are going to tolerate the server issues before they go play something else though, can't be that much longer no?
If we're talking about the real position, the game is at least #18 because both the Capcom Stadium games are fake CCU peaks, 1 day peak due to steam botting for Steam cards.
Life is Strange 2 seems to be due to Free Key giveaways.

Who's next to beat?

I'm not a big multiplayer guy but this game just has cool vibes and if not for the server problems would be pretty inviting to just hop in play for half and hour and get out. Zero toxicity so far in my experience as well, reminds me of early days L4D.

Programmers working until very late pushing to production during peak hours. These folks have iron balls under their pants.Somebody at Arrowhead updated the Steam depot for the game at 2AM Sweden time

They even have fun codenames for the patches: "Fenrir" and "Godzilla". xDDD

All they need to do is get the server issues sorted and the game will explode. Sony needs to throw money at the problem.
You can't throw money at this sort of problem unfortunately.
The real games to beat are Terraria (489k) and COD (491k)
They broke the all-time peak again 421.4k
Officially number 21 under Among Us
Sony is powerless to speed things up, it's just these 5 dudes
To me at least it was not obvious that this game was going to be anything else than just another online TPS and since it was online it was going to be plagued with insane micro-transactions and likely broken (as in bug ridden, not as in not enough server capability).
This is if the onboarding is well organized, where I work I heard it could take over a year for someone to be able to "just code" (we are working on a way to fix that ASAP).
Do you guys think Sony could even afford to acquire arrowhead now? Or would most of their value be tied up in the Helldivers Ip, which Sony owns?
If server size is updated it will go above Valheim and COD this weekend
