PoE Two will never get those numbers back, even at 1.0 release. THose numbers were inflated by Chinese players, that soon will have their own server, outside of steam.
Assuming 1.0 is a true full release, with stronger patch quality, more complete content, and the game finally tapping into its real potential—, it’s not unrealistic to think PoE2 could hit those high numbers again.
A polished launch draws players back and keeps them longer, and going fully F2P opens the door for a wave of new and curious players who skipped early access for all sorts of reasons. There's still a lot of untapped interest out there.
Nope, because to hit those numbers on steam again, they would need to double if not tripe amount of actual players. China is HUGE and I wont be suprised if there was more chinese players playing PoE 2 than EU + NA players together.
Hitting 500k on steam w/o them is pretty much impossible for them.

That’s just not realistic given the short development window
Bruh... 300+ days to cook some ideas in their devs brains? No way, GGG doesn't get a pass on that.
Let's be real, they did not start to cook anything prior the events, else we would have had a much earlier league and not the two back to back events as a time filler.
At best they've been working on the new league stuff after they've put up the Legacy of Phrecia event, which is kinda a realistic timeframe with a bit more than 3 months. But they for sure did not put more than 300+ days of brainstorming into the whole fun.
Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun. Last edited by Pashid#4643 on May 25, 2025, 4:13:45 PM

GGG, I know ya'll don't look at posts anymore, but hey...
You guys get 1 chance at getting those new poe2 players to enjoy poe1. We all know poe1 is the superior game, by far, but poe2 peaked at 500k players.
Give us a certified banger, make them poe2 chads like poe1, make $$$ and get in a groove we haven't seen since Chris left.
That is all, thanks for giving me a game I've loved for 10ish years.
Agreed even if they are sinking ggg they still gave us a game we loved for 10 years. It was a blast even though it has to end like this ... one last banger to end it would be great.

PoE 2 peaked 578k on steam alone add another 200-300k on consoles and its close to 900k PoE 2 is gonna be superior after its polished and is in full version and when its gonna be free to play they will get their new peak by atleast 2-3 times more

but poe2 peaked at 500k players.
On steam alone, there are other people playing on the stand alone client, and non steam platforms.
I don't think they need to do much past add a league mechanic that is decent or better...the rest will manage itself.

Copium. It wont even beat its previous peak w/o Chinese numbers inflating them.
