Resident Evil Village launches to over 100,000 concurrent players on Steam

Resident Evil Village officially released last night and as our performance analysis shows, it is an excellent game on PC. A lot of people are finding that out for themselves, as the game launched to over 100,000 peak concurrent players on Steam. 

As shown on SteamCharts, Resident Evil Village peaked at 101,430 concurrent players on Steam yesterday. This handily beats out other recent Resident Evil titles, for instance, Resident Evil 7 launched to 18,211 peak concurrent players.

The closest competition Resident Evil Village has in terms of concurrent player counts is Resident Evil 2 Remake, which has an all-time peak concurrent player count of 74,024.

Capcom has not announced launch-day sales for Resident Evil Village yet but if the Steam numbers are any indication, this is going to be a record-setting Resident Evil title.

KitGuru Says: Resident Evil Village is off to an excellent start. Have any of you jumped into the game already? How are you finding it so far?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
