LawBreakers got a fair amount of attention leading up to its release, and it even reviewed generally well. But one of the more unfortunate attention-grabbers after the game launched was its concerning player numbers. They started well under those of Battleborn , the infamous tragic competitor to Overwatch . While director Cliff Blezinski has stated support for LawBreakers is a marathon effort, the game reached a new low that could suggest bad times ahead.
Steam trackers noticed that, earlier this week, LawBreakers was at a shockingly low 48 total players concurrent on Steam. Its 24-hour peak number was only 266. This is less than a month after LawBreakers has launched, and a tragic drop of even its low launch numbers, which were still in the thousands.
Taking a look at the game on SteamCharts as I write this, LawBreakers currently has roughly 200 players, with a 24-hour peak of 260. So that sub-50 number is likely not representative of regular playing time for LawBreakers fans, but a couple hundred likely isn’t enough to sustain a game’s continued support and development.
