Redfall Multiplayer Struggles with Low Player Count on Steam
Are you ready to team up and take on the challenges of Redfall multiplayer? Well, you might find it a bit tough to gather a full team of four players. The player count for Redfall on Steam has dropped so low that finding teammates is becoming a challenge.
Redfall’s Declining Player Count
According to SteamDB, Redfall’s concurrent player count on Steam hit a low of three over the past week. This is a significant drop compared to its peak of 38 players during the same period. It seems that the game’s popularity has taken a hit, and it’s affecting the multiplayer experience.
Disappointing Launch for Redfall
Redfall’s launch didn’t go as smoothly as parent company Microsoft had hoped. Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, revealed that they expected the game to receive much higher reviews. Unfortunately, Redfall faced criticism for its poor enemy AI, lack of direction, and technical issues on both console and PC.
Reports of troubled development at Arkane Austin, the studio behind Redfall, also surfaced after the game’s release. It was clear that improvements were needed to enhance the overall gameplay experience.
Arkane’s Efforts to Improve Redfall
Arkane Austin didn’t sit idly by after the launch of Redfall. They rolled out their first major patch a month after the game’s release, focusing on “incremental improvements” across various areas such as gameplay, combat, and AI. This patch aimed to address some of the game’s shortcomings and enhance the overall experience for players.
However, since then, Arkane has been relatively silent about Redfall. There has been little mention of upcoming updates or the promised 60fps performance mode for Xbox Series X. Back in June, Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty assured players that Arkane was “hard at work on updates and continued content” for Redfall, and Microsoft had no plans to close the studio despite the game’s disastrous launch.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Redfall
As a gamer, it’s disheartening to see a game struggle with low player counts and face criticism for its flaws. However, there is always hope for improvement. Arkane Austin has shown their commitment to enhancing Redfall with their first major patch, and we can expect further updates and content in the future.
If you haven’t tried Redfall yet, don’t let the current player count discourage you. Gather your friends, form a team, and dive into the world of Redfall multiplayer. With the potential for future updates and improvements, there’s a chance for the game to evolve into something truly captivating and enjoyable.
