Marvel Rivals Concurrent Player Count on Steam Surpasses 400K as Servers Continue to Hold Strong
[summaraize]
It’s only been a few hours since the release of Marvel Rivals, and it’s already drawing in quite a number of players. While we can’t determine how many are playing on consoles, Steam has already seen the title surpass 400,000 active players. What’s most surprising, though, is that the servers appear to not falter at the mass of players signing up and playinghave everything under control.
Marvel Rivals Boasts Impressive Launch Day Player Count
As of writing, Marvel Rivals has reached a whopping 444,286 concurrent players on Steam since its release four hours ago. Though it’s typical for big titles to see a massive number of players on the day of launch, Marvel Rivals has managed to maintain its concurrent player count above 400,000 since its release. It debuts at #25 most played game for concurrent players on Steam Charts.
An impressive turnout for opening day, and that’s not taking into account players on PlayStation and Xbox, which we wager are well above the 100,000 mark and possibly even more than the Steam numbers on each platform alone.
While the game opened up to a few technical issues that are still being worked on, the one thing that is impressing many players is how the servers appear unaffected by the influx of players. I played a bit myself just a while ago, and I didn’t see any cues to log in, any matchmaking errors, or anything that prevented me from playing. Finding matches has taken literally a few seconds, with everything running smoothly in-game.
That’s quite a feat for a new multiplayer game, especially when looking back at some of the biggest online games that have had launch-day server issues. Only time will tell if the servers will continue to hold steady. With its first weekend coming up and Sundays typically being one of the busiest days on Steam, we expect it’ll be doing a lot more that day.
Marvel Rivals is now available for free on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series consoles.
