Sharp criticism hasn't hindered Dragon's Dogma 2's popularity: the role-playing game's online peak on Steam exceeded 220,000 people

Three days ago Dragon's Dogma 2 RPG was released, which had all chances to become one of the best projects of 2024, and according to critics it became it. However, due to some technical problems and the fierce reaction of gamers to the presence of microtransactions in the $70 game, Steam users dropped the rating of Dragon's Dogma 2.

But, as it turned out, the huge number of negative reviews did not prevent the game from attracting a lot of public attention.

Here's What We Know

In the first weekend after the release, the peak online Dragon's Dogma 2 in Steam was almost 230 thousand people. This is a great result not only against the background of the game's heath, but also in comparison with other novelties.

Fantasy RPG by the number of simultaneous players overtook some flagship projects of Capcom. Thus, in the remake of Resident Evil 4 (2023) this figure was 168 thousand people, and Street Fighter 6 - 70 thousand users.

The user rating of Dragon's Dogma 2 is gradually growing, and in three days it grew from 40% to 51% of positive reviews, and this is even before the promised updates from Capcom.
