It seems Sony Interactive Entertainment can breathe a sigh of relief. The new project from the company and Bungie has already attracted the attention of players on Steam.
With only a few days left until the release of Marathon, the extraction shooter has already entered the top 3 in revenue on Steam due to digital pre-orders.
This means that part of the audience has accepted the game, despite the wave of criticism after the start of the playtest. Players complained about the weak interface and a number of other elements, but there were also those who liked the team gameplay of the Bungie shooter.
The peak online presence quickly fell from 140 thousand to about 60 thousand simultaneous players, but the place in the income ranking shows that the project managed to interest fans of the genre. The price on Steam is $40.
A few years ago, Sony acquired Bungie for almost $4 billion. The next few days will show what real income from Marathon the company can expect.
