- While Indiana Jones became the 2nd best seller on Steam, its launch was quite underwhelming.
- The game managed to reach just over 8k players, which is pretty low.
- The reasons for the low player count could be due to its day one availability on Game Pass and the fact that players are more attracted toward Marvel Rivas and Path of Exile 2.
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle previews were highly positive, but despite that, the game’s hype wasn’t that high. While there were fans who were highly anticipating the title, its anticipation wasn’t through the roofs.
Due to that, its PC launch seems to have underwhelmed as the title has only managed to cross 8K players on Steam.
Why it matters: Indiana Jones is an old classic, and its reviews are highly positive. With many singing its praises, the launch on Steam seems pretty underwhelming.
As you can see in the image above, the game reached an all-time peak of 8,148, which is pretty low. It currently has just over 7k gamers playing it right now. Also, there seem to have been a lot of glitches affecting the fandom’s progress in-game, which seem to have been fixed.
The developer also didn’t include FSR on launch, as it will be added later. These reasons could have prevented fans from buying it right now. However, the main culprit seems to be Game Pass.
To those unaware, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle launched on Game Pass day one, so many fans would have decided to play the game via the subscription service. Xbox is expanding itself more via Game Pass, so it is understandable why it would release AAA games on the subscription service from day one.
Another reason for the low player count could be that this month is currently dominated by Marvel Rivals and Path of Exile 2. The former almost reached the peak concurrent player count of half a million, with the latter reaching almost 580K players.
Nonetheless, Indiana Jones’ reviews are highly positive and highlight that it is worth experiencing. So, those who are skeptical about spending full price on it can always play it via the Game Pass.
