Evolve’s FTP player count increases by 25,000 percent

Love or hate it, you can’t deny Evolve has seen some hard times recently. After marketing a genuinely promising 4-vs-1 multiplayer mode with powerful monsters, Evolve’s player base quickly dropped until it reached a mere 157 per day. But after all this time, maybe all Evolve needed was a free-to-play model that didn’t shackle players to overpriced DLC.

The free-to-play Evolve Stage 2 launched its beta on Thursday, and its prospects have quickly turned around. As of writing, there are currently 40,407 Steam users playing Evolve with a peak of 40,445. That puts Evolve Stage 2 as the 11th most-played Steam game of the past 48 hours, and two-thirds away from bumping into the top 10.

That’s not to say Evolve Stage 2 can necessarily maintain these numbers – we’ll need at least another week to know for sure. But you can rest assured Turtle Rock Studios will be crunching its beta data to prepare for the official release later this year.

Don't look like something I would be interested in.

Still not interested in it, never caught me back in the open beta, not worth the download with my speeds.

piPosted:

I might have to check this out once I return from vacation. Wanted to try it but saw that no one played it.

25,000% increase when the game became free cause who doesn't love free stuff!?!? ;)

Wonder if they'll be able to maintain those numbers, doubt it though.

SagePosted:

dah Never played this game before and it's nice to see the count increase by 25,000 percent.


Game is really fun but they still need to balance alot or the player base is going to drop just like it did before they changed it F2P. Time is going to repeat itself if they dont find a way to do it.
