Remember when Valheim was all the rage?
It's still hard to believe it's been 3 full years since it released and we only got one new biome since then (and yeah I know it had other smaller updates but considering its success and potential I was hoping for much much more from them).
It's had several large updates though... more biomes aren't the only thing that matters.
Mistlands update was the only big one, maybe hearth and home can be called big due to the new foods and combat changes but honestly, it's a regular monthly patch in any other early access game. I've seen more additions for Against the Storm in a span of few patches than I did in Valheim in all 3 years combined.
Valheim still hasn't even been released yet 😭
Heck, I remember when Fall Guys was all the rage.
I remember when it wasn't full of cheaters, didn't require an epic account and only sold items for wins.
It was all about Shotgun Roulette last week
cough Lethal Company cough
it's still in the top 10 daily players games on steam and still higher than CoD and BG3.
Ofc the player numbers is going down, but i think it is an easy casual game to come back to when playing with friends.
I bet the next steam next fest will have tons of copycat demos for this type of game too.

That one is a special case. Yes, it got completely annihilated in numbers by even the goose goose duck clone, but, the thing is, the majority of its userbase just started playing on Mobile (where the game is free) well before the game left its popularity peak. So, the steam numbers are hardly representative of its playerbase, and the app's download count shows it.
PUBG did not have a similar story at the time of its release, but does right now. It's one of the most played games in the world... On chinese phones, so, uh, kind of invisible depending where we're looking for. To put it into perspective: PUBG straight up dethroned the biggest, most profitable shooter in the world Crossfire, by splitting the population, and the takeaway there most people would have is "What the hell is a Crossfire????".
Oh my god Crossfire!!!! I used to play that so much as a kid, didn't realise it was particularly big though! :o
Still awesome! Am halfway through an immersive mode playthrough in prep for Ashlands!
