Did you say the same thing when Forza Horizon 5 came out Day 1 and barely managed to do more than GOW? I guess no one cares about RDR2, Assassin’s Creed, Sea of Thieves and Resident Evil too since GOW beat them all
It’s still below Forza Horizon 4&5 as far as I can see, which apparently no one would pay for because of Game Pass.
Good numbers for GoW though, 70k is more than respectable.
An hour ago GoW achieved a new record of concurrent users, 73,529. I got curious with your posts so I went to check out some numbers.
So in a couple of days it passed the all time peak concurrent users records of Sea of Thieves (66,906 users), all Assassin's Creed (I think the record was 62,069) and Sony ports (record was 56,557 with Horizon), RDR2 (55,271) or Forza Horizon 4 (40,399). You can add Gears 5 (10,196). Pretty similar to Age of Empires IV, the best selling ones in the series (73,928) but obviosly below the Halo Infinite (272,586, it's a F2P and the SP a DLC for it) and Halo MCC (161,024, 6 games bundle where they are added during a year, at launch only had Reach).
Forza Horizon 5 had an all time peak record of 81,096 users. The SteamDB stores old dates showing for each UTC day its concurrent users peak. GoW still didn't complete its 3rd UTC day and has a 73,529 record. Forza Horizon 4 had a record of 74,323 after its 2nd UTC day and 80,859 after is 3rd UTC day. Right now they are in pretty similar numbers, on the same league.
