Rocksteady's 'Suicide Squad' game sinks to an all-time low player base, which doesn't bode well for the game's future

The poor reception and sub-118 concurrent players bode an ill future for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

What future? This is the first and last season. 200 players for a AAA game is something else.

What happened to RockSteady?

I like Harely, gotta be one of my favorite female characters and she deserves much more than that mediocre open-world, live-service shooter-looter game

‘Arkham Knight’ Now Has More Players Than ‘Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League’ On Steam

Batman: Arkham Knight has actually surpassed Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League in terms of overall number of players.
www.forbes.com www.forbes.com

Last night when I looked the gap was about 1,300 with Suicide Squad ahead. But now Arkham has jumped even more, and at the time of this writing, Suicide Squad has 3,737 players and Arkham Knight has 3,922. Arkham Knight is nine years old. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League launched less than two weeks ago, and is meant to be an ongoing, grindable game once you reach the end.

  • Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is struggling to attract players on Steam, being outdone by the 9-year-old game Batman: Arkham Knight.
  • Some fans have reacted negatively to Suicide Squad's live service gameplay, though others have been more positive about the game.
  • Future content updates could potentially revive its playerbase.
Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is struggling to attract much of a playerbase on Steam, as the game is currently being outdone by the studio's own Batman: Arkham Knight, a game that's nearly nine years old at this point. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been fighting an uphill battle ever since it was announced to be a live service game, with many fans outright rejecting the concept.

To its credit, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League currently has a "Very Positive" overall rating on Steam, so the game clearly has its fans. The problem is that there are not enough people playing it, with 4,087 players in-game right now according to Steambase.io, while Rocksteady's 9-year-old Batman: Arkham Knight has 4,391 players in-game. It's possible that these numbers are off, but regardless, it's clear that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is having a serious problem with getting people to actually buy and play the game.

Why do people enjoy the downfall of games? All you babies crying because they didn't make another Arkham Knight, let the series chill for a while and let them work on something different.

If that something different is utter trash then I guess complaining is fair.

I would rather Rocksteady worked on something else, yes. And I bet they felt the same way, start to finish.

The problem with this game is not that it isn't a Batman Arkham game.
The problem with this game is that it's complete shit.

It's just a terrible game mate. The Batman Arkham games premise was BE THE BATMAN. Not this marvellized, Fortnitey, focus tested gen z crap.

But its not an Arkham Game, Rocksteady have made 4 Arkham games already let them branch out, The only negative thing I've seen about suicide squad so far is The Pride flag and that's it

People said the same thing about Gotham Knights and I really enjoyed it, I thought it was a great Batman game only negative thing I didn't like was the clayface fight.

Its funny that people just want the same shit over and over again.

But it's not like batman games are released yearly. We had almost 9 years between knight and suicide squad.
Batman arkham games were best in class, of course many folks would want more. Specially with all Batman material there is to tell great stories and the leap to a new console generation.

Even the much maligned Arkham origins trumps all over these last 2 games.
