Are the servers populated?

[Meclub]

Before I buy this game I wanna make sure the servers have actual people in them. I heard most servers are just filled with bots. Is that true?

Outside of the training map, this is a PvP only game. There are people playing and a lot of them. Many use mics strategically too which is a nice change.

0 bots in this game, all real people.

That is a deceptive view of things. This game is very heavy for Quest users rather than Steam ones. I think I am the only PC VR (Steam user) I have run into. That means Steamcharts is not too useful for evaluating population. Also, PSVR will add an even larger player base later.

With 18 players per match, I would be running into the same players and or waiting long periods of time if the population was that low. I have a fairly populated Pop1 friends list (the one in game that is cross platform) that constantly has everyone in different games and squads. I also don't have to wait very long at all for matches nor see the same players. Cross platform is doing good work here, but it also means Steam is a very small slice of the pie.

Thanks everyone for the input!

A good chunk of the players are from Oculus which isn't tracked by Steamcharts.com

Almost every single player who tells me which VR set they're using is an Oculus.

Most players will be Quest non PC since it runs on standalone VR headset. I honestly don't think there are many players who aren't Quest players. I didn't encounter a one in the hour I played before refunding.

There are other platforms besides Steam, brev. With the queue times we're getting there are probably around ~1000 concurrent players at the minimum, and it is one of the top played games in the Oculus store.

Do some people ENJOY doomsaying good games? I could almost see you lick your lips at the thought of a game going under.

Most players will be on Quest and not Steam so Steam numbers won't be accurate. That being said, it's not like Facebook is going to tell so how many players they have is a total guess as well as when people find a new game, this will drop like a boulder.

vrlfg only reports SteamVR players chief. It doesn't show Quests players and there's thousands of players playing this game on that, and crossplay between Quest and SteamVR is totally seamless
