Conan Exiles Peaks At 49k Concurrent Players On Launch Day
Conan Exiles has seen a steady decline in its playerbase since the game’s Early Access launch in January 2017. The open-world survival MMORPG peaked at 53k concurrent players in February 2017 dropping to a 3k-player average in just five months, mostly because of negative reviews on Steam.
Surprisingly, Funcom was able to turn things around, regaining most of their playerbase when the game launched earlier this month. According to analytics tracking website GitHyp, the game peaked at 49k concurrent players on May 13th, just a few days after its May 8th launch date.
The tracking site says that the game’s successful comeback is because of the developers’ dedication to improving the game. “When it debuted on Steam, feedback from players was Mixed with many complaining that the $29.99 game was unplayable in its current state,” says GitHyp. “Since coming out of early access last week with a $10 higher price tag, reviews from players have changed to Mostly Positive — placing it back in Steam’s top 10 most played.”
Funcom also rolled out a small update for Conan Exiles over the weekend which introduced the new AFK system along with a number of bug fixes. The same update also just went live for console versions of the game.
