Summary
- Suicide Squad's Steam player count has been dropping ever since launch, hitting a new record low of 118 on April 25.
- During the same timeframe, fellow doomed live service title Marvel's Avengers actually had more players, despite no longer being sold on Steam.
- It's thrown Suicide Squad's future into question once again, as it's difficult to see Warner Bros. supporting a title with so few active players.
It's fair to say that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's post-launch plans probably aren't going the way that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Rocksteady and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Warner Bros. wanted them to. Its player count has been dropping ever since launch, despite a sma🌠ll bump from the release of the Joker in Season 1, and it's now dropped so low though that more players are actually playing a game that's been pronounced dead for months.
First spotted by , there was a brief moment earlier today in which Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League had a smaller concurrent player count than fellow superhero live-service disappointment 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Marvel's Avengers. If you check , you can see that Suicide Squads' current players dropped to a pretty dismal 118 at 11am UTC.
Check on Steam, which you cannot actually buy any more as the option has been removed from the store page, and you'll see the game's player count was at a slightly less dismal 123 during the same timeframe. Granted, that's a difference of less than half a dozen players, but it's pretty atrocious when you take into account that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Marvel's Avengers has been declared dead for longer than S🧸uicide Squad has been on store shelves.
Suicide Squad's Future Is Looking Bleak
We don't know what the game's player count is like on consoles, though it's difficult to imagine it faring any better, since it's a premium title that cost $70 at launch. With so few players, it's going to be difficult for Rocksteady and Warner Bros. to justify spending so much time, effort, and money 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:to create post-launch content that less thဣan a thousand people are actually going to 🐟play.
Suicide Squad will have its ardent defenders, as pretty much every live service title does, but Warner Bros. has done a fantastic job of keeping away any potential returning players 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:with the scuffed launch of Season 1. We'll see slight bumps in players upon the launch of each new season, no matter how small they may be, but the days of thousands of players flocking to Suicide Squad are pretty much over.
Rocksteady must surely be ready to move onto whatever it has planned next, rather than support a game that's already on its last legs, but we can only wait and see whether the developer sticks to its word and delivers one year's worth of free post-launch DLC. Don't be surprised if Warner Bros. decides to just pull the plug though.
