‘DOOM Eternal’ Cracks 100k Mark For Concurrent Active Players on Steam
So, with that social distancing thing, it seems that people have an excuse to indulge in the recently-released DOOM Eternal. How many people, you ask? According to SteamDB, quite a few.
According to the tracking website, DOOM Eternal has peaked (so far) at just over 104k all-time concurrent active users. To put that into perspective, Resident Evil 2‘s all-time player peak on Steam is just over 74,000. Devil May Cry 5? Over 88,000.
That temporarily put it into the top ten games on Steam by player count. Of course, it’s now slid out of the top 10, but those numbers still have to make Bethesda and id Software happy. It’s also well over double the peak concurrent player mark set by its predecessor, which was just over 44,000.
DOOM Eternal is also out for PlayStation 4, Google Stadia and Xbox One, with a Nintendo Switch release on the way.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
