Peak of 370k concurrent players on Steam already, topping Starfield's peak.

Did this come out of nowhere or did I just miss the signs?

Doesn't come out of nowhere to my knowledge. It is quite anticipated game by many, as it was shown with trailers before on big shows. Everyone was wondering what kind of game this will be and everyone just knew it as "Pokemon with guns" where you can catch and slave other Pokemon like creatures. I'm actually surprised that so many didn't heard of the game before.

And that was just the warm up.
850k concurrent players and rising right now...

It practically came out of nowhere.
