Looks like Hellblade 2 peaked at 3.9k concurrent users yesterday. Definitely somewhat worrying, even Redfall got 6k peak on Steam in spite of low reviews, HiFi also got a 6k peak there as a shadow drop with no marketing. I just hope Xbox doesn't close Ninja Theory, at the very least they are worth keeping around for technical support, they have proven themselves to be just as much masters of Unreal Engine as The Coalition, and Xbox now has at least 10 studios other than Ninja Theory that are using Unreal engine, some of which have historically struggled to get the most out of the engine. It's worth the budget of their AAA indie games just to keep them around for technical support, if nothing else.
