If you've been following Tekken 8 recently, you'll know that it's an absolute dumpster fire at the moment. Despite calls from almost every fan to start making defense more important in fights, Bandai Namco has made things even more aggressive in Season 2, and longtime streamers are leaving the game over disagreements with the game's direction.
Tekken 8 just doesn't feel like Tekken anymore to a lot of fans, and they've been leaving in droves ever since. Now, less than a month after the beginning of Season 2 and the arrival of Anna Williams, Tekken 8 is hitting new lows on Steam. While its numbers on the platform were never that high to begin with, it has recently dropped below the 6,000 daily player threshold for the first time since launch.
You can see the drop via the game's SteamDB page, first spotted by Reddit user Friendly_Bagel, as Tekken 8 has actually dropped below 6,000 players two days in a row. Today, the game peaked at 5,742 players, and dropped to an even lower peak of 5,716 players the day before. It's definitely a downward spiral, and it doesn't look like it's going to change its trajectory any time soon....
