Sudden drop in players in early february?

[Killbeam]

I just got this game from Chrono.gg. I recognized i from somewhere (I thought TotalBiscuit did a video on it, but I couldn't find it) and it looked interesting.

However, after the 2 mandatory bot matches (btw the bots are horrible), i tried quick play. I've been waiting for 10+ minutes in queue.

So while I am in queue, I decided to check steamcharts. I noticed that there were more and more players playing the game between July 2018 and January 2019. But sometime between February 1st and 10th, the playerbase dropped to basically 0. Did anything happen?

It sucks, because I was excited to try the game, but that seems to be impossible.

I don't think anything happened, but I can tell you there will be an update soon - so that should bring people back.

Hello Killbeam!

Well, first and foremost, you can't rely solely on steamcharts for the numbers of Aftercharge. It's definitely underperforming on PC but it's much more lively on Xbox One and its cross-platform. That being said, we know the overall CCU is often low even if we have hundreds of people playing every day. We have an update coming hopefully in two weeks and I have combined a ton of marketing initiatives around it ( Chrono was supposed to be one but we ended up pushing the update back a bit and couldnt cancel Chrono )

I have personnally played 14 matches tonight in a period of 2 hours. Maybe I was a bit lucky, or maybe I was just patient enough.

On a side note, something DID happen between Feb 1st and Feb 10th. Apex Legends dropped. We kind of never recovered from that.

I hope this brings you light on the situation of Aftercharge, I'd be happy to chat on our Discord channel if you have other questions.

I've been waiting for the next big update so I don't get tired of the game.
