Space Marine 2 Lost Over 70% Players In Less Than A Month

Expert Verified By

Plans For DLC And Sequel Already Confirmed!

Story Highlight
  • Space Marine 2 is the most-played Warhammer title on Steam. 
  • The reason for its success is that it captures the essence of old-school gaming beautifully. 
  • Regardless of such success, in just 18 days, the game has lost over 70% of its player base. 

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is one of the biggest releases this year. While there have been problems this year, there were some great releases. With Space Marine 2 being the most-played Warhammer title on Steam and dominating the sales charts, it seems like the hype around it is dying. 

This game provides a great co-op experience, but despite that, the hype is dying as in just 18 days, it has lost over 70% of the player base on Steam

Why it matters: It is normal for a single-player game to lose its player base quickly, but games featuring co-op can preserve their player base.

This game, after launch, quickly sold over 2 million copies, which is insane considering no previous title in the franchise had such anticipation and hype behind it. Featuring great combat and story, this Warhammer title attracted many new payers to the title who are eager to learn about the ‘Warhammer Lore.’

That said, it is a little sad to see this game losing over 70% of its player base in less than a month. It even features co-op, but without more story content, it might not have been worth playing for many players. At the time of writing, there are only a few over 38K players playing this game

That said, the developer has already confirmed plans for the DLC and even a sequel. So, fans should look forward to more quality content.

Space Marine 2 is a throwback to the simple gaming era, and that is exactly why it is so good. Even the CEO claimed to have achieved the old-school gaming, and it seemed to have succeeded in doing so. 

We hope the game’s future content manages to attract even bigger fandom and excite them for future Warhammer titles. As of now, there’s no confirmation about when new content will be released, but given the success, an update would not be too far away.
