- The game hit 105,000 concurrent peak players on Steam on its
first day in the wild. For reference, that is more than three times

of the biggest releases for Bethesda in awhile.

just ten days - Activision has just announced that Call of Duty: Warzone has now over
30 million players worldwide. Thus, this free to play battle royale COD
game has been quite successful for the company, something that
shouldn't really surprise us. Call of Duty: Warzone came out on March
10th and had 6 million players
in its first 24 hours. Then, on March 14th, Activision reported that
the game surpassed its 15 million goal. Call of Duty Warzone is
actually a cool free to play battle royale game. It runs exceptionally
well on the PC platform, and supports cross-play between PS4 and Xbox
One. Moreover, Activision has finally included solo plays via its
latest update.

broken a new record with over 21 million concurrent players. To be more
precise, Steam has peaked at 21,360,226 concurrent players. This number
is somehow close to 22 million, so it will be interesting to see
whether Steam will set another new record in the following days.
Naturally, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is at the top of the games
with most concurrent players. DOTA 2 is in the second place, followed
by PUBG, Monster Hunter World and Rainbow Six Siege.
- "Overwhelming majority" of PS4 library will be playable on
PS5, Sony Interactive Entertainment confirms - The "overwhelming
majority of the 4,000-plus PlayStation 4 titles will be playable on
PlayStation 5," Sony Interactive Entertainment clarified in an update to the blog post
that accompanied PlayStation 5 lead system architect Mark Cerny's
PlayStation 5 technical presentation earlier this week. PlayStation
4 titles will “run at a boosted frequency on PlayStation 5 so that they
can benefit from higher or more stable frame rates and potentially
higher resolutions,” Nishino said. Games are currently being evaluated
on a title-by-title basis to spot any issues that need to be addressed
by game's developers.
