In recent days, there has been a lot of criticism going on regarding the number of Steam players on SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded. Despite an almost complete overhaul, the free-to-play shooter is struggling to take off.
At the time of writing, there are only 952 simultaneous players on Valve’s platform. Of course, as the game is also available on PS5 and Xbox Series, it is difficult to get an overall picture.
This was not lost on 1047 Games in a statement. However, the studio did not provide any other figures that were more reassuring for the future of SPLITGATE.
“Steam Charts don’t measure fun”.
“They show one number, on one platform, at one given moment. They don’t show the full picture or what it feels to actually play, and they definitely don’t capture the community that’s actively helping shape what Arena Reloaded is becoming (including upcoming content like Arena Royale).”
“Over the past six months, we rebuilt Splitgate from the ground up because we believe in the game, our team, and our community. The 1047 team remains committed to delivering the best version of Splitgate possible.”
“To our amazing community: thank you. Your feedback and passion have helped make Arena Reloaded better every day.”
“And to everyone who hasn’t played yet: Arena Reloaded is free, the gameplay’s the best it’s ever been, and we’d love for you to jump in and form your own opinion. A lot of passionate people worked very hard on it.”
