It really is odd, I certainly hope it's not a glitch, perhaps there's a bigger audience coming in, but still, seems super odd.

Hm ... I saw the chart of concurrent players and it's looking SUS

yeah looking at steam charts that seems super weird. in the last year its never had more than 4k

YEP its not normal, because of the fact trackmania came on steam so late the average is usually low on steam. Having a peak like that so quickly means it has to be a bug, a peak like that doesnt make sense even if you wanted to add bots or something.

Which one's and how recently? It still would be an unusually high peak

Summit and Lirik a few days ago I guess.
It's definitely gotta be bugged or botted because it's been like this for 20 hours. Only thing I can think of is maybe Ubisoft player numbers count now but I still think it would be less consistent.

That's what I was thinking, somehow ubisoft connect prevented player numbers from tracking via steam, but 20k players is just so high, and the game itself statistically doesn't support those numbers.

There's been a theory that games played by people sailing the seas (if you know what i mean) have started using another free game (in this case, Trackmania) instead of Spacewar to connect to steam, but I dont think that's the case. Still, quite weird.

Don't think it's a bug tbh. There clearly is something happening. With the newest update the game had server desync issues for many players. Devs fixed it after a few days, but it might be just a temporary solution and maybe the devs themself are trying a longterm test in the background, who knows. Since it's just trackmania with these numbers it can't be a ubisoft connect thing. Also no steam trading cards, so no card farmers.

I was thinking the same thing

That would still not fully explain the static 20k that rarely fluctuates but now it seems back to normal
