Sq. Enix launched Remaining Fantasy XIV’s new Dawntrail growth this week, and the brand new journey is doing huge numbers. In a brand new weblog, director/producer Naoki Yoshida claimed the MMO hit a brand new report of concurrent gamers.
Laborious numbers weren’t posted, however Yoshida famous the concurrents have been its greatest because the mushy reboot A Realm Reborn launched again in 2013. He thought-about it much more spectacular given the sport’s launch points.
“It has been a pleasure to observe you all play, every in your personal distinctive method,” he stated. “However we’ve develop into conscious of a number of points that will have confirmed a hinderance to your general expertise. For that, I sincerely apologize.”
Charting Remaining Fantasy XIV’s numbers is somewhat difficult, given its multiplatform standing. On SteamDB, it had a latest 24-hour peak of 71,208 gamers, which places it not that far behind the height of 95,150 gamers again when Endwalker launched in 2021.
So huge was Endwalker that Sq. Enix needed to cease promoting the sport forward of launch as a result of it’d gotten too widespread. Even with that growth’s points, it went on to develop into a huge income driver for Sq. Enix on the time.
Dawntrail’s significance was boosted with Remaining Fantasy XIV’s arrival on Xbox months prior (albeit troubled), and kicking off a brand new story arc for the bigger sport. Nonetheless, it is unclear on what system the majority of gamers drove this new concurrent peak.
Both method, Remaining Fantasy XIV seems to indicate no indicators of fading away anytime quickly.
