Until Dawn's remake launched last week on both PS5 and Steam, though to say it hasn't set the world on fire would be an understatement. Comparison videos were made shortly before release, with comments full of people criticizing the title for looking "way worse" than the original, stripping away its atmosphere to chase realism. It also had more than a few technical issues too, as the game launched to Mixed reviews on Steam.
All of those issues - combined with the game's less than stellar marketing on PlayStation's part - now seem to have come together perfectly to deliver this year's most abysmal high-profile launch on the platform. According to True Trophies, the player count for Until Dawn on PlayStation 5 upon launch is one of the worst that the console has seen this year, and is somehow 28.6 percent smaller than even Concord's player count at launch.
This is the very same Concord that bombed so hard that PlayStation had to remove it from both its own storefront and Steam just two weeks after launch, and offer everyone that bought it a no-questions asked refund. Until Dawn is admittedly doing better on Steam than Concord did, though...
