Despite mixed reviews from users
There were quite a few people who were eagerly awaiting the launch of The First Descendant, the free-to-play game announced by Nexon, the South Korean company specializing in this type of video game. This title was officially launched on June 30thand although on its Steam page we can find some “mixed” general reviews from users, the truth is that it seems to have been a great success in terms of the number of users. From the first moment it has become one of the great successes of the yearsetting a record number of players that has surprised everyone.
More specifically, and as we can see thanks to the SteamDB website, has set a record of 229,257 simultaneous userswhich was reached 17 hours ago at the time of writing this news. This places it as one of the great successes we have received during 2024, Doubling the number of current simultaneous users of Palworldanother of the titles that have broken records this year.
We must make it clear that it has not been placed among the 2024 titles that have presented the highest record of users on Steam, given that precisely The aforementioned Palworld surpassed 2 million playersEven so, the number is likely to increase as the days go by.
In addition, The First Descendant is available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and PCthus expanding its potential user base, although we do not have specific figures for the other platforms.
Another successful shooter
This year we have received some shooters that have turned out to be a great success, such as XDefiant, the Ubisoft game that recalls the classic Call of Duty games, but adding certain hero-shooter elements. Even so, in the case of The First Descendant We are faced with what is usually known as a looter-shootera genre that is otherwise at its peak.
We'll see if Nexon is able to maintain this success over time, but for now has managed to surpass many other titles in terms of users on Steamalthough not all players were happy with the final result.
