(Weekly Steam Comprehensive) ‘Hades 2’ conquers the top, new expansion pack ‘Stellaris’ is a hit – Kyunghyang Games VRESP

As a main character in the Steam market this week, ‘Hades 2’ is performing unrivaled. While it quickly took the top spot as Steam’s most popular game, the success of the popular SF grand strategy game ‘Stellaris’, which released a new expansion pack on the 8th, is also attracting attention. We looked at this week’s Steam market.

First, ‘Hades 2’, which released its early access version on the 7th, is living up to its name by quickly taking the top spot on Steam’s world’s most popular game rankings. In addition, the number of real-time concurrent users is also trending upward and enjoying popularity. The record number of concurrent users of ‘Hades 2’ on Steam, which stayed at around 70,000 immediately after launch, has now surpassed 100,000, and another increase in the number of users is expected over the coming weekend.
Users’ interest in ‘Hades 2’ can be confirmed in the accumulated user evaluations. More than 10,000 Steam user reviews were accumulated in just one day of launch, and 96% of the games were evaluated positively, maintaining the ‘overwhelmingly positive’ indicator. Even though it is an early access build, it is receiving a lot of praise in terms of content volume and completeness, which seems to be raising expectations for additional updates in the future.

The success of ‘Stellaris’, which ranked 5th in the world’s most popular game on Steam on the 8th, is also heating up the Steam market this week. Stellaris, a popular sci-fi grand strategy game released in 2016, is enjoying popularity again with the release of the game’s new expansion pack, ‘The Machine Age’, on the 8th. The expansion pack contains a variety of content such as machine empires, various new social systems, structures, and new origins, and the separate DLC, which is not part of the main game, is also ranked 12th in the world’s most popular game on Steam.
In addition, ‘Hell Divers 2′, which went through an eventful period from the announcement of forced PSN account linking to the abolition of the plan, is gradually recovering its popularity, ranking 8th in the most popular game and having the most daily concurrent users of about 110,000. However, users’ voices of dissatisfaction are starting to grow again due to the downward adjustment of the balance of various weapons through a recent new update.

Meanwhile, Steam plans to hold special genre discount events this month, such as the ‘Infinite Replay Game Festival’ and the ‘Open World Survival Creation Game Festival’, and in June, there will be a new game introduction event ‘Steam Next Fest’ and a seasonal discount ‘Summer Discount’. ‘ is scheduled to unfold.
