Dead Island: Riptide, a zombie survival game released in 2016, has seen a sudden surge in popularity with thousands of concurrent players on Steam, eight years after its launch. The game, often overshadowed by other titles, experienced a spike in player count ahead of the upcoming release of Dead Island 2 on Steam. Another possible reason for the resurgence could be the success of a new zombie survival game on Steam.
The concurrent player count for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League on Steam has dropped significantly since its release, often falling below that of Gotham Knights, a game released two and a half years ago. Despite hitting a peak concurrent player count of 13,459, the game's popularity has waned, with an average of 754 concurrent players per day over the past week. Warner Bros Games expressed disappointment at the game's performance, citing it as falling short of expectations, and facing tough year-over-year comparisons in the first quarter. The game's mixed critical reception, server issues, and live service elements have contributed to its underwhelming performance.
