Feb. 26, 2024Last Epoch Concurrent Player Peak on Steam Hits Over 264k
The ARPG Last Epoch has achieved major concurrent player numbers during the first week of its full launch with over 264k players.
Last Epoch has had a big 1.0 launch which has now passed the peak of another major ARPG. In its first week of its full launch, the game has garnered a staggering 264,708 at its peak for all-time highest concurrent players. To put this in context it’s more than the free-to-play Path of Exile which now sits at 211,637. However it should be notedPath of Exiledoes however have its own launcher which will not be accounted for on Steam.
But this does show the overall popularity of the title which strikes themiddle ground between Path of ExileandDiablo 4‘s complexity. It’s also currently sitting as the third best seller on Steam behind Counter-Strike 2 and Helldivers 2.
But it hasn’t been all smooth sailing for the game’s 1.0 release as the developer Eleventh Hour Games’ servers were overloaded with the mass of players with over 150k crossing the threshold on day 1 within the first 20 minutes, causing server issues. This seems to be the norm with launches when the floodgates are opened. The developer is continuing to iron out the issues and has been giving out frequent updates on X (formerly Twitter).
Still, the game continues to have quite an active player base with over 218k in the last 24 hours (at the time this article was written). It’s quite an achievement as an indie studio and hopefully, they can continue to provide the best experience for players.
As a thank you the developer has given players a free in-game gift The Autumnal Wrap which is a back-slot item. Make sure to claim in-game.
The 1.0 version is off to a good start as it brings much more to the game out of early access. Its main features include two masteries theFalconerandWarlock. It also introduces a new skills system, resonance system, cycles as well as a full offline mode. You can check out thehighlights of the 1.0 Patch Noteshere.
