Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the fourth most popular game on Steam right now

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is seeing success comparable to Dark Souls III in popularity. Peaks of 125.000 simultaneous players have been reached, making it the fourth most popular game on Steam.

That From Software generates a lot of hype for its games is nothing new; with the release of Dark Souls III, they established themselves as one of the most important developers in the current landscape. While they don't quite reach the level of Ubisoft or Electronic Arts, they certainly know how to generate interest in their games, which translates into sales and players spending time with them. With Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, they have managed to repeat that success, perhaps with even greater popularity.

According to the latest data available from Steam, at least 125.000 concurrent players were online during one of the game's peak activity periods since its official release this week. This level of popularity is even higher than that of Devil May Cry 5, considered a major success that could potentially save Capcom's fiscal year and revitalize one of the company's franchises.

Sekiro gets huge popularity on Steam

With these levels of popularity, it is more than certain that they will consider how to expand the universe of Sekiro, either with additional DLC or already preparing a sequel, still with nothing confirmed. In addition, this only indicates the players on PC, they do not take into account those who play on consoles, whose numbers are more complicated to obtain, not to say almost impossible if we are not Sony or Microsoft.

At the moment the game is being liked (with our analysis in progress) with people who praise how they maintain a gameplay that makes it depend solely on the player's ability, leaving aside RPG components such as statistics, something that ends up moving it away from the basic formula of Dark Souls trying to obtain a very own style that is appreciated.
