Crimson Desert's success isn't slowing down anytime soon. Once more, it's just enjoyed a hugely popular weekend over on Steam, comfortably making it one of the most popular games on the store.
In the past 24 hours, Crimson Desert peaked at 236,253 concurrent players on Steam alone, not too far off its all-time peak of 276,261 from eight days ago. This shows that Crimson Desert could have some real staying power and could be one of those single-player games that consistently gives live services a run for their money.
Even as the Easter weekend closes out, Crimson Desert still has an impressive 169,822 concurrent players. This makes it the sixth most-played game on Steam right now, ahead of Arc Raiders, Stardew Valley, GTA 5, and many more.
This isn't bad going for a game that has divided players and critics alike. Initially launching to "mixed" Steam reviews and "generally favourable" reviews on Metacritic, Crimson Desert has sparked some strong reactions, as some see the amount of content as great value for money, and praise the vast open world, while others feel that it's directionless and frustrating to play.
If it clings onto enough of the interests it...
