Returnal is out now for PC, but it seems that the game has gotten off to a pretty slow start, attracting fewer than 7,000 concurrent players on Steam during its first weekend. By comparison, only SackBoy: A Big Adventure performed worse, recording 610 during its peak.
Sony has been releasing a number of its major exclusives for the PC over the past few years, including God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone. Of those games, God of War was by far the most successful, attracting 74,000 concurrent players in its opening period.
Returnal is a brand new IP and is obviously not as popular as God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man, so the fact it hasn’t attracted big numbers isn’t all that surprising.
Returnal was originally released for PS5 in April 2021, and you can read our full review here. In addition, you can also read our verdict on the PC release.
