While update didn’t bring true content like maps, guns, factions. Online spiked towards 9k currently, so almost x3.
Now Fatshark if you will be so kind to speed up without loosing quality and will deliver crafting rework and some content instead of go silent for 4 months, well imagine how it would be healthy for the game?
When they released full game content (one year latter after launch of darktide on PC) with xbox release in october/november 2023, the peak of active players on steam charts was 33k.
So i honestly dont thing 9k is somewhat a success. Wonder how much it will be in 2 weeks.
In the US it released in the morning of a work day for many people, not surprising the numbers are what they are with that in mind. I’ve seen a couple posts already of people (like me) excited to get home to check out the new stuff.
They NEED to keep the ball rolling. This update is SOMETHING, but we’re stuck with a lot of the same previous issues. Crafting is ass, no new guns, no new maps. We need them to keep it up rather than going radio silent.
