Warzone 2 Steam player count plummets ahead of Season 2 ActivisionJust one month after its release, Warzone 2 has seen a dramatic player count drop on Steam ahead of Season 2. From the game\u2019s launch on November 19 to December, Warzone 2 has seen a player count plummet of almost 50% on Steam with players blaming such a drop on a variety of reasons. While Warzone 2 is available to play on a plethora of platforms, certain websites like SteamCharts allow us to get an insight into the popularity of a game like Warzone 2. For the case of this popular Battle Royale, it seems that the Steam player count has plummeted by almost 50% in the space of a month. One player took to Reddit to share their findings and hundreds of fans took to the comments to give their reason for this dramatic drop in players. Warzone 2 Steam player count drops dramatically While there is likely a variety of reasons regarding this drop in player count, many fans have given their theories with one suggesting it\u2019s a \u201cresult of launching a buggy game with no retention\u201d and then going on to explain it\u2019s \u201ctime for plunder and resurgence now.\u201d Many players agreed with the player stating that as long as there\u2019s \u201cResurgence and changes to the game\u201d they think \u201cthat\u2019ll bring the player base up.\u201d others explained that there\u2019s only \u201chalf a game\u201d due to the lack of Resurgence. Resurgence is an extremely popular mode in the original Warzone and is potentially coming to Warzone 2 thanks to a recent leak. While many fans blamed the lack of retention and Resurgence, other\u2019s explained that a \u201c50% retention after 3 weeks seems pretty normal\u201d with another fan taking to the comments to remind players that \u201cevery multiplayer game has these peaks and drops\u201d going on to say that the \u201cnumbers will pick back up when there\u2019s a new update with new significant content.\u201d hinting to an increase after the release of season 2. As previously mentioned, the statistics are purely for Steam players so, it\u2019s not entirely accurate when looking at the player base as a whole. As some fans have suggested that, \u201cSteam users going to the Battlenet launcher due to crashes\u201d will likely explain the heavy drop, despite there being a possible fix. Lastly, a considerable amount of fans took to the comments to explore the notion that the game in general is responsible for the drop in players. One player expressed their frustrations by saying the game was \u201cBugged, [with] no meaningful progression, and straight up way less fun that Wz1 and Mw2019 was.\u201d Another fan agreed with the notion that the game isn\u2019t as good as Warzone 1 by saying, \u201cI played a ton of WZ1 and this one just isn\u2019t as fun as the first\u2026 There\u2019s things I like about it but the lack of audio and game breaking glitches just makes it not fun to play.\u201d Ultimately, despite speculation, there is no one reason for this dramatic drop in players, and only time will tell regarding its success as Season 1 winds down to make way for Season 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
