How many concurrent players will God Of War Ragnarok have on Steam?

[quest4441]

A game that sold 5.1 million copies in 3 days and 11 million in 3 months cant do 25k concurrent on launch on PC gentlemen. The game has problems with some bloat and marvelisation of the dialogue but it is still a very good game and deserves at least a 100k concurrent

I think with this and concord Sony will finally realize that the juice isn't worth the squeeze anymore

Hopefully Until Dawn and Lego Horizon will flop badly on PC and PS5 so that Sony rethinks its whole strategy. Some friends have also stopped buying games for PS5 that are released on PC on day 1. In my opinion, ports are coming out too quickly for PC these days, while console gamers haven't had a new AAA game in almost a year. Instead, we'll probably get 2 remasters, 1 remake, 2 live service games, and an extremely good AA game by the end of the year. I can't imagine that they'll be able to maintain or improve PS5 sales figures like this. If they port games to Switch, I don't care, they can sell a few more games that way, especially in Japan, and technically Switch 1 and 2 aren't competition, but all the PC ports will ensure that the PS5 sells significantly worse than the PS4, and many will certainly consider whether they even need a PS6 or whether they'd rather wait 1-2 years for the PC port.

Especially now that Xbox is a total failure as a competitor and is even releasing games for PS5, Sony should put everything on the line and say they will no longer release games for PC, and anyone who wants to play Bloodborne Remaster can only do so on PS5. But only Sony can do that: PS5 owners are dissatisfied, PC players are dissatisfied because of the PSN account, Dreamcastguy is dissatisfied because he is always dissatisfied, and Xbox players (who are actually all PC players anyway) hate the world anyway. Oh yes, Nintendo fans are now getting involved too and believe that PC + Switch 2 is the perfect solution to be able to play everything, even though you really only need a good PC to be able to play Switch games better than on the outdated Switch hardware.

If Sony doesn't show anything new for 2025 this year, it will be a wild ride.

Hopefully Until Dawn

Oh I already can see sub 3k CCU for this, I cant believe I am saying this but bloober and konami deserve your money more than the creatively bankrupt Sony in the first week of october.

I dont know why they are making a movie based on until dawn lol, But cant say I am surprised as it is coming from a production house that made morbius and madame web.

Sony shits out shovelware even in the movie business, all these pc ports, remasters/ remakes, unwanted b-tier movies/ tv shows make it seem like a company nearly on the verge of bankruptcy desperately trying to make some money and going around with their begging bowl. They want to become an apple like brand but operate like oppo mobiles lmfao

 

[Muddasar]

Reckon it will do 500K concurrent players on the weekend.

20K on Steam.

480K on Piratebay.

Not sure. The PC gamers will know.

I can understand why they're making a film based on Until Dawn. Films like that always do well, but it depends on the production costs and the cast. I don't understand who at Sony had the brilliant idea of porting everything to PC as quickly as possible and using every IP in a film or TV show. I already found Twisted Metal and Uncharted superfluous.

Why they now have to make a remake of Until Dawn, which was also developed by an external studio with a different engine, remains a secret of Hulst or Ryan. If they had re-released it with the Decima Engine as a remaster and offered it to owners of the original for $10, I could still understand it. But who has to be drunk enough to buy the title again for that price when it hardly looks any better or has much more content? I'm really excited to see how it sells and how quickly it ends up on PS+ Extra. Silent Hill 2, afaik, costs the same as the Until Dawn remake, looks better and offers new content and a new experience thanks to a different perspective.

It's also stupid of Sony to release Until Dawn four days before Silent Hill 2; the money spent on making Silent Hill 2 a console exclusive was really "well" invested.

 

[Shmunter]

Wait until they do day and date the exclusives will do better in sales. Also what do you have against PC ports who cares if more people get to play a game you like

Yeah, inevitably so. They are definitely considering it to take advantage of the marketing push and fanfare. Fuck em.

I think someone high up Sony's food chain is delusional to think that until dawn remake will do the same numbers it did on console back in 2015, They really think it will do 4 million on steam lol. The delulu is high enough that they expect people to buy SH2 on console and UD remake on pc

I can’t believe why would they ever port until Dawn to unreal. It was using decima and looked so unique!!! Nothing does characters as good as decima.

Ragnarok and forbidden west numbers are still surprisingly… anything compared to zero marketing. I had no idea gow is today

Honestly I dont know, Anyone with functioning brain cells can see what is happening. The pc port business is just giving diminishing returns, the smart thing would be to just stop doing single player releases on steam. There is something seriously wrong with SIE leadership both corporate and the studios themselves

I think the corporate leadership is too greedy for that.

The problem is they judge the profit on the cost to port rather than against the cost of the whole project

But they can make the same amount of profit if they shit out a game for PS5 made on 10-30 million budget which is equal to the pc port costs, I bet a octopath 1/2 type game will atleast sell a million on PS

Something like Freedom Wars will make as much money as the Ragnarok port. If they are really desperate for cash they can release a limited dualsense controller and watch the money flow.

Dumping their system-sellers AAAs for pennies on Steam is the worst way to make money for your brand. Horrendous management.

The EU peak was a few hours ago, the American peak will be in around 2-3 hours from now. Depending on the genre and day one peak is bigger than the other. So there may be a slightly higher peak in a few hours.

What American peak? It's at 16k and going down. Flop budget game. They'd rather play Banana.

They're lucky if they sell 500k lifetime. You should go update your list with fake numbers and write 3 millions sold to make yourself feel better

I agree

PC ports should be judged on theor profitability vs the entire development

Then it wouldn't paint such a pretty picture
