Early access to Hades 2 on Steam attracted more than 100 thousand concurrent players in the first 24 hours
Hades 2 made a surprise Early Access release the other day, and the game is already showing impressive numbers in terms of the number of concurrent users on Steam.
As of this writing, over 88,000 players are making their way through Supergiant Games’ first-ever sequel. And the peak in 24 days exceeded 103 thousand players. This significantly exceeds the results of its predecessor: the concurrent online record for the original Hades is 37,749 people (although it is worth noting that the first part was originally an Epic Games Store exclusive and only later reached Valve).
Additionally, it looks like the launch of Hades 2 could end up boosting the first game’s performance as well. According to SteamDB, over the past 24 hours, the original Hades peak online reached 36,043 players, approaching a four-year record.
With Hades 2’s Early Access debut yesterday, Supergiant Games said it plans to release the game’s first major update “later this year” and will be closely monitoring player feedback in the meantime.
