Can Path of Exile compete with Lost Ark and Elden Ring?

Izzat... Steam? I've NEVER played PoE through Steam. Not sure what portion of the player base does, but then, it's only a portion. =^[.]^=

Chris told us number poe peaked this league... you can check steam's peak too... basic maths... steam has majority of poe players now.

Is Lost Ark really that great? Im kinda torn.

Today, and this weekend, full release peak numbers for LA will be astronomical.

PoE cannot compete with this type of population, but that doesnt mean that PoE doesnt have its niche spot still, or is "dead".

If anything it just gives them perspective that nothing is guaranteed, and if your product isnt what your customers are telling you it should be, they will find solutions elsewhere.

I've enjoyed my time in LA with the founders pack, and getting to lvl50 with my main. The combat, skills, and boss fights are great. The multiplayer aspects are very good (PvP and PvE), and there is plenty to grind. Its looks like millions have also done so with more on the way in the coming days.

They may even shatter Steams concurrency record for any title...

It's a kpop game and copy pastes the story of FF14 and looks like it has all the anime game tropes. No anti-aliasing, crappy voice acting, 5000 year old lolis and cat girls, and lots of time wasting buildup before it gets any good. If you're into that then yeah it looks great, but I'm a little tired of asian games, they're all creatively bankrupt

I will delete all my characters if Lost Ark breaches 3,236,027 players

Absolutely nothing from this is true.

I will be NOT surprised if today Lost Ark got 2500k players+
This is amazing game, much, much better then PoE.

hard to get that with all servers shut down
/s

In the short term probably not but its pretty much just temporary until the next league, unless when that is launched a bunch of other titles launch at the same time...

I'm well aware all asian media fans are in denial

If LA looked liked this, it would have twice as many ppl playing it. Just look at FF14.

1,045,180 players online now in Lost Ark, servers got 11k+ queues
