Is this game dead already?

Came to check community hub for active players and it doesn't even have the minimum required players online to show up in the Community Hub "all" section. I thought this game just came out. What happened? I thought it was a well received game.

No, far from it. It averages 2300 players currently, making it quite alive. For reference, MK1 and GGS average 1800, so it's currently the third biggest fighting game after Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6.

I'm getting matches really fast, with only 5 to 15 seconds of waiting. SNK games are more popular in consoles, that's why steam have these "low numbers". This game is ALIVE AND WELL and is selling pretty good, game is sold out in many stores. The game have crossplay so you don't need to worry about steam numbers.

True and I believe in future it will be better, especially given how fast updates are (yesterday and today we got two updates in a row) and a new character every two months and ofc 1.5 million tourney AND esports world cup.

It’s a safe purchase, most fun I had in long time.

The numbers seem pretty alright. Though given the extensive marketing they did with celebrities, some of which are even in the game, I'm suprised they got a bit more than half of the players at launch that KoF XV had (on Steam that is). But the console/PC spread might just be different for this one compared to KoF XV.

Anyway, I'm glad the netcode seems to work fine for most people and the game is deep and enjoyable for a lot of people, too.

I wonder about the game's longevity, though. SF6 somehow manages to keep a lot of players engaged, even though the amount of new content (apart from avatar stuff) is really not that big compared to some other fighting games. I'm not sure if it's going to work out similarly for CotW, since the overall gameplay and modes are maybe not that well suited for casuals and newcomers compared to SF6. I feel like CotW is old school on a lot of levels, for both better and worse.
