Frost Giant studio has already announced that it is preparing for major layoffs, as the project turned out to be a failure. In early August, the RTS left early access and received a story campaign, but even this did not help attract players.
According to SteamDB, Stormgate has no more than 220–250 concurrent players at its peak. This is a catastrophic result for a free-to-play game with a large budget.
The head of Frost Giant, Tim Morten, commented on the situation. At Gamescom 2025, he noted that the project, created with a budget of over $40 million, is not generating the expected revenue. If the trend continues in the coming months, developers will be forced to make serious cost cuts and reduce staff.
