Steam audience of the Suicide Squad live-service game is comparable to the 8-year-old single-player Batman Arkham Knight

Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League turned out to be a great game for some, and a reason to remember Batman's adventures in Batman Arkham Knight for others

Recently, the live-service game Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League was released on Steam. Prior to release, the Rocksteady Studios project was heavily criticized, but on Steam the game has very positive reviews; (it seems) many really liked the project.

However, Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League attracted a rather modest audience on Steam: the all-time peak concurrent player count was just over 13 thousand players. For comparison, the single-player Batman Arkham Knight had 27 thousand.

Batman Arkham Knight will soon turn 9 years old, yet the game still attracts many players. As the release of Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League approached, interest in Rocksteady Studios’ previous works grew.

So it turned out that less than 2 weeks after the launch of the Suicide Squad live-service game, the project's audience almost equaled Batman Arkham Knight. Over the weekend, the new release peaked at 5,033, while the old single-player game had 4,597 players.

The story with Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League has not ended: there are plans to launch new seasons with additional content.
