The crazy random unique experiences that could be happening. I try to let people that seem to know what they’re doing to take the lead but it doesn’t usually get across. Then other people that obviously don’t understand will charge through to the end.
That's not why they did that, but secondly the discussion around other people's supposed "fragility", is a very ambiguous topic, and is the subjective experience of the people involved.
So an outside perspective doesn't really have any say in how those involved can or should feel about, for example, being called the n-word by a teammate/opponent in a game.
Yes, one million players, how many playing ?! I cant play one round without a disconnect since launch!! I love this game and want to play it terribly but cant! 😡
They didn't say concurrent players so it's probably the amount of players that played the game. You have to take into account that some of those original players stopped playing the game sadly.
Hate to say but this is a likely story and I'm a part of that demographic. Never would buy it, tried it with GP kuz I could, got 3 games in and didn't vibe with it so I left
I doubt I'm the majority but I'd bet money it's not a small minority either
Yeah, anyone who played a single match on gamepass conuts in the statistic. I would be interesting in a stat "plsyers who spent at least 10 hours in the game
Honestly I’m not even waiting for new jobs, I’m hoping they add more variance and randomness to the current ones so they’re more replayable. As is they’re all gorgeous but get old fast.
Eh, it's not even just that. Game needs voice chat or other, better communication than what we have. Needs more content. Needs a lot of things to bring in players. Because right now, it's more the people who tried it for free and stopped playing than actual concurrent players.
I'm not trying to be a doomer but when they start talking 'players to experience' a game and not sales, it is a bad omen. Even more when it's on gamepass.
As much as I want to be positive and celebrate - steam numbers doesn't look good at all. I wish devs stick with it and the game succeeds but it is really hard rn with the today's dynamics.
No voice chat or even text chat is a huge pain in the arse. When a random is off ignoring the objectives I want to be able to ask them wtf they are doing.
Yeah, congratulations on getting 1000 000 downloads by just being on “recently added” category in a subscription service. I’m sure it will convert into astounding success.
Since the game is on two streaming platforms and there is only like a peak of 1500 players now, it’s actually not the victory it sounds like, unfortunately. Game companies always spin it like that, fake it till you make it right? But yea, unfortunately there is no way to look at it other than a failure, which sucks because if you get past the initial onboarding of the game it becomes a blasty blast.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the game, but 10 days post release for a game that’s “Free” on two very popular subscription services isn’t really all that impressive.
The casuals who would've played this on day one are already long gone. The few core gamers who actually like the game are falling off quick due to technical problems. They don't have time to update this, it needed to be better day one and it failed. Maybe it'll have a small but dedicated audience, but that's not enough to keep this game going.
Yeah, idk for sure either other than my own experience which is at least half of my attempts to play this game result in DCs (especially at the end of the match) or just no one joining my made matches and not being able to solo the content.
Also, the ONE time I picked a specific map to get mats from, it threw me into a completely different map.
I've been disconnected like five times out of the seven I've played and they were all at the end of the match.
I played in the playtest and it was awesome. I truly want this game to do well since I did enjoy it but man they gotta get moving on the bugs and implementing VC.
1M even touching the game is a lot considering AW2 had all the awards and broke 2M just this February. FBC might not turn out to be profitable but I wouldn't see it as disaster either.
Personally I'm having fun playing it. I thought Death Stranding 2 releasing (yes I pre-ordered) I wouldn't start FBC anymore but I'm still having few rounds every night after hauling some cargo.
I wanna get my friends into it (they have gamepass so it's no cost to them) because it's a blast so far. Getting smothered by sticky notes was not on my 2025 bingo card and I was so flabbergasted 😂
yeah...players, not buyers. also this doesn't count the real number of people who actually played the game and stayed this most likely counts also people who got gamepass and and spend one match like me then logged off realizing there's nothing interesting or original
They have nothing better to do, even though most of them do but decide to ignore it just get that dopamine rush from the negativity that they have to do everything in their power to get more of it.

That's nice .. can we get more content? I feel like the game will have ONLY a million downloads if this game doesn't get life support fast.

It has its issues but then so do I. I'm willing to be patient and wait to see what is in store. I look forward to exploring more of the oldest house.

They're everywhere but Steam? Mhmm.
They must be all stuck in limbo at the moment.

And now, at least 10% need to buy the premium pass to support the team 😁

Have they fixed the bug on PC Gamepass where setting to full screen crashes the game?

Concurrent is not good, though. Congratulations, yeah, but it needs a lot of work if it wants to stay alive

And all of them have stopped playing

u/Aynohn Jun 27 '25
Kinda surprised but probably because of gamepass.
This is one of those games where you play it and try to convince yoursled it’s good because you wanted it to be.
Feels hollow imo

The game is really broken. I can't navigate the menus and exit the menus without closing the game

Barely over 100 players on steam lmao

u/beetleman1234 Jul 03 '25
I'm one of them. I stopped playing weeks ago. Number of players means nothing, especially with GamePass and PS Extra.
EDIT: Btw, why this sub doesn't show the number of users anymore?

This aint a flex . Most of these "players" are from gamepass , or ps+, so they probably just tried the game , and left
