Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Peaks at Over 12,000 Concurrent Steam Players Upon Global Launch

As a long-time fan of Indiana Jones, I must admit that I was eagerly anticipating the release of “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.” Having grown up with the original trilogy, I had high hopes for this game, especially after hearing the positive reviews it received. However, upon its global launch last Monday, I was a bit taken aback by the relatively low number of concurrent players on Steam – 12,138 seems a tad modest compared to the blockbuster status this franchise deserves.

Last week saw the premiere of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for Premium Edition owners, with a worldwide release following as this week began. However, the game’s launch player engagement hasn’t matched expectations, considering the popular intellectual property it’s built upon and the favorable reviews it has received.

On its first day of release, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle reached a peak of 12,138 simultaneous players on Steam, surpassing most of MachineGames’ previous titles in terms of peak concurrent numbers on this platform. For instance, Wolfenstein: The New Colossus had 11,986 players online simultaneously, and Wolfenstein: Youngblood had 6,582. However, it didn’t surpass the record set by Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus in 2017, which peaked at a staggering 16,141 concurrent players on Steam.

It’s important to consider several aspects that could impact the game’s performance. Firstly, as previously stated, the game has been accessible to Premium Edition owners for some time now, so many people might have already started playing it. Secondly, the game can be accessed through Game Pass and the Windows Store, not just Steam, which means a portion of its PC player base may not be using Steam to play the game.

In our analysis of the game, we gave it a 9 out of 10 rating, noting that “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” perfectly embodies the essence of its source material. This game offers an authentic, thrilling Indiana Jones experience that rivals the original trilogy. The game’s impressive level design, intriguing exploration, clever puzzles, and enjoyable stealth and combat elements come together to create a well-rounded gaming experience that could potentially be MachineGames’ most outstanding work yet.
