Only 1500-2000 players nowadays?

[Monterossa]

What happened? It used to be 10k+.

Now it's the same numbers as Street Fighter V, and that game can crossplay with the PS4 playerbase.

Who cares about CS:GO, the game is dead and is only filled with casuals. It's a dead esport.

i'm hoping the DLC will bring some people back

Haven't you made a million of these threads already?

This is normal for a fighting game. The reason it had 10k+ at launch is because people bought it cuz it's dragon ball, and left cuz they realized it was hard to get good at

Also, the PC online player base is about twice as much as PS4 and it's more than PS4 & XBox One combined when we look at the player base numbers we got from PSN https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/7161-dragon-ball-fighterz and Steam Charts before Steam updated their default privacy settings.

It claims that there are only 26K Owners of DBFZ on PS4

Pretty sure that site is 100% incorrect.

DBFZ on PS4 would never sell so little bit since we have come to know that it has broken world records etc in sale

Just like Steamcharts and Steamspy, it showed public profile statistics and like steamcharts the numbers are not 100% accurate but accurate enough to show a trend. Steamcharts also only showed public profiles and yet they were always about twice as much as the PSNprofile chart numbers.

Well and in addtion to that there are people like me. We wait tll the game drops because theyve planned dlcs even before the main game got released.

That site can only record people who synced their trophy list at least once after they play the game. There're people who never went online on the PS4, and people who bought the game but never played it.

The same Thread is on every game :D .
CS:GO 400k Player = is this game dead ? Just 400k wtf ? and so on ....
Maybe people should get the head out of they´re as s and just enjoy the games they buyed

Before you post a thread like this follow these steps :

1. research how big the player base was on a long time period(game is still not old)
2. play the game to get an view on your own
3. search statistic for actual games of the same genré

People ask this same question, because it's a multiplayer game and having a small playerbase can potentially ruin the game.

and for your point number 3, I did compare this game to SFV and it's actually very close, while SFV can cross-play with the PS4 playerbase as I said in the OP, so the current number doesn't look good for DBFZ. It decreased from 40k+ to 2k in just 3 months.

40k to 2 k is cause most people who buyed this thought it´s an typical Dragon Ball Z Game(which is stupid enough , cause we have youtube and trailer and so on ).
Now we will get the next dlc and the even more active player . After that we will see the same thread here again. I never had the feeling of "ohh sht nobody plays this game" and i never had to wait rly long for a match and thats what realy matters. 50k people who don´t play ranked , won´t change a thing ;) .
In higher ranks you sure have problems to find "new" or "different" enemys , but more players don´t mean you have more "good" player . It´s the same in each game , you may have 1-5% realy good player on the top and the rest is split into "ok players" and the ground of maybe 20-40%.

And yeah i know that my enlish skills sukcs :P

You reminds me that I need to continue playing SAOFB.

Look, normies buy fighting games. They notice it isn't for them, then they drop it. Happened to MvC, Tekken 7, SF5. SF5 only has 15k players on ps4, what happened to that 2 million player base? Well, normies I tell you. Fighting games are unpopular, CS:GO and Starcraft 2 have more players than every fighting game combined, and those are considered dead esports. Fighting games will eventually die out, so seeing how the playerbase drop isn't unusual, and it quite dumb to ask.

[Ennui]

Like the guy above said, casuals pick up fighting games while theyre hot, can't keep up with the growing skillcurve, play through the story, get bored of the repetitive nature, etc. and then buy other games or move on. Meanwhile competitive players stick to it and generally speaking hold on to the game for a while, but even then some people go on to different fighters. So the player base drops.

This game is simple, flat, generally a generic 2d fighter, so its not surprising that people aren't keeping up with it. Especially since the skillcurve follows how much cheese you can put your opponent through without them being able to deal with it, rather than typical footsies or other parts of normal 2d fighting games.

[Auron]

Game was sold as extremely accessible but it's actually way harder than say SFV, people got scared and ran away while giving excuses like "it's too shallow for me."
