It amazes me how many people can be on at the same time on games these days.
For reference during the weekend they had to do maintenance on the game because the game had tapped out the 250k player count o. PS5 and PC. They bumped it to 350k and it immediately hot that cap. They might as well push it to at least 600k to be on the safe side. Either way really solid showing for Arrowhead. They must be ecstatic.
Not bad, solid number indeed.
I really enjoyed the original, twin-stick shooter, especially in local coop, playing in full 4 coop team.
This one...not for me, but I'm glad they're doing well.
Would u look at that!?
Go starship troopers!
