Dying Light 2 PC Player Count Nearly Four Times More Than Dying Light’s All-Time Peak

Dying Light 2 finally released. It seems that the new zombie parkour game by Techland has been doing very well. 

If Steam numbers are anything to go off of, Dying Light 2 is easily Techland’s most successful game. In fact, its all-time peak is nearly four times larger than Dying Light’s all-time peak. Dying Light 2 is only 24 hours old, while Dying Light was released in 2015. That it’s already surpassed the original game with such massive numbers is quite the feat, as noted by games analyst Benji-Sales on Twitter. 

More specifically, Dying Light 2’s all-time peak at the moment is 177,222 players, according to Steam Charts. Dying Light’s all-time peak is 45,876. In fact, Dying Light 2 has already surpassed last year’s big horror release, Resident Evil Village, which has an all-time peak of 106,631. 

Now, it’s important to note that PC player counts don’t necessarily translate to console player counts, but there’s a good chance that if PC player counts are this high, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One concurrents are just as high, if not higher. If that’s the case, then Techland absolutely has another hit on their hands. 

That wouldn’t be surprising either because Dying Light 2 is a great game – Game InformerIt received a rating of 9.5/10. Techland also released a 5-year plan for DLC, which was publicly discussed by the company. A Switch version of Dying Light 2 could give the sequel an extra boost. This release was delayed recently.
