Despite being released rather quietly, the automated shooter Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor managed to attract over 30,000 concurrent players on Steam within a few hours. SteamDB data shows steady growth since launch, which is likely to continue throughout the weekend.
The fact that it is currently only the tenth highest-grossing game on the platform globally is not misleading, as Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is sold at a very low price (currently €8.99). Please note that Steam measures revenue, not copies sold.
In addition, the game has already received more than 3,500 user reviews, 82% of which are positive.
What is the reason for this success? First of all, the genre: this is an excellent clone of Vampire Survivors. And to the Deep Rock Galactic community, united and passionate about the universe created by Ghost Ship Games.
