While The First Descendant had a explosive launch with at least 10 million players across all platforms, it looks like Nexon’s MMO looter shooter is already on the wane almost a month after launch, at least on Steam.
According to SteamDB, after a strong debut with a peak of 260,000 concurrent active users during its launch on July 2, The First Descendant saw those numbers decline by about 40% in the weeks following its launch, before settling around an average of 100,000 players from July 22 onwards. Sure, those are still significant numbers, but the sharp drop is noticeable considering The First Descendant is still fairly new to the market.
In any case, The First Descendant is now attaining numbers quite similar to those that other similar titles like Warframe, which has an average user base of between 80,000 and 100,000 players on Steam, have on average. It should be noted that the numbers for The First Descendant are relative to Steam, for the moment it is not clear how the Nexon title is doing on other platforms like PlayStation and Xbox.
It cannot be ruled out that some events surrounding the game may have influenced its popularity with the public: in addition to the less than glowing international reviews, the accusations of copying Destiny 2 leveled at The First Descendant have sparked discussions within the community, generating perplexity. It will therefore be interesting to see how the performance of The First Descendant will continue to evolve in the coming months.
