After the official release, Avowed was unable to reach 20 000 concurrent players on Steam. The results are devastating for such a big game with all the advertisements they have done during the last couple of months.
Yes, I'm sure, millions are playing via XBox subscription (no), but keep in mind that even The Veilguard managed to reach 5+ times more players.

To place the release of Avowed into perspective, here are some other release numbers (some are outdated and even greater now).
15 600 players is nothing β lower than Pathfinder games, lower than Rogue Trader. Despite those games are kinda niche.

  Oblivion Remastered is coming soon! The game is still yet to be announced officially, but several insiders are saying that it will be showcased in a few weeks and then instantly released.
And since the production of physical copies and media materials takes time, cover arts, some videos, and screenshots were found on the official website of the developer Virtous Games.
It seems that they are trying to keep it close to the original art direction, which is impressive. But they completely messed up with color correction β the game is now significantly warmer, like a PS3 era filter is on top of everything.

In just an hour The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered reached over 76K concurrent players on Steam, despite being a 120GB game which was released right after the announcement.
All that in the middle of the week and without a traditional marketing campaign. I'm sure that right now more remakes are being approved behind the curtains.

  Oh, yeah: it was so odd, that my number of purchased games declined by 80% after buying and refunding it. It was so off, that it broke my 25 years old gaming career.

  Dead Topics: Starfield is a fake game
  Starfield is not a real game, itβs a fake game. Itβs an illusion, a lie that attempts to sell you on the idea that this game is deep, complex, and most of all worth your time and money. It is none of those things, the marketing was smoke and mirrors, andβ¦
