Having only just launched, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is already lighting up the charts, recording 177,000 concurrent players and climbing on Steam (according to SteamDB) at the time of writing, for a spot in the Top 10 of the past 24 hours.
As highlighted by @Wario64 on X, that number gives it the record for the highest concurrent Steam player count in a Capcom single-player game, above even Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil Village.
It’s a great start for the long-awaited sequel to fairly niche game from 12 years go, one that strives to deliver on all of the promise of its predecessor.
