Lost Ark Is Already Fifth On Steam’s Concurrent Players List

Lost Ark has officially turned one day old and has already broken into the top five of Steam’s all-time peak concurrent players list, according to SteamDB. While the game launched in North America, Oceania, and Europe yesterday, it has been immensely popular in Korea since 2019. It evolved into something very different from its launch version, and MMO fans have been waiting for the global launch for a while. Perhaps that explains the meteoric rise in the player base. Lost Ark is nestled between two rather controversial games. Cyberpunk 2077 sits at fourth spot, which went from being one of the most anticipated games to one of the biggest let-downs. And at sixth spot is New World, which seems to be plagued with back to back issues since the day it launched. The vacuum created by players giving up on Amazon’s MMO could also have added to Lost Ark’s player numbers.
