This spectacular figure was reached less than a month after the Western launch of free-to-play, which mobilized 4.7 million players in just three days. No wonder when you’ve already looked at Steam statistics: Lost Ark achieved the second largest concurrent player peak in the history of the platform with 1,325,305 players. Above all, it remains a month later at the top of the most played daily games in the company of CS: GO, Dota 2, PUBG or even Elden Ring.
“Overall, the excitement of Lost Ark around the world is growing rapidly, as evidenced by the growing number of international players. Together with Smilegate, we are committed to supporting the growing community with a solid roadmap of updates in the years to come.“, said Christoph Hartmann, vice president of Amazon Games, in a press release. Out of 20 million players, 10 million are based in North America, South America, Europe and Australia.
If the game menu was already rich at launch, Amazon and Smilegate RPG still have plenty of content to offer from the Korean version of the game, starting with the March update and its new scenario (Kadan) including quests , new islands and cinematic moments. A new eight-player endgame activity, Abyssal Raids, will also debut in this update.
Amazon and Smilegate RPG do not forget the problems that still need to be solved to improve the gaming experience, with unfortunately some limits already reached regarding queues in Europe. “We know that wait times to play in the Central Europe region remain long, but as we explained before, unfortunately we cannot increase the number of people that can be accommodated by each server. We are also unable to add servers due to the complexity of the game systems and their interactions.“, can we read.
