Left 4 Dead, which engraves the “Fight the zombie army with your friends” genre into our brains, has not been with us for a long time. Back 4 Blood, signed by developers who are not happy with this wait, charts lower than expected, despite the demand for the beta process.
The game debuted the other day, reaching 52,253 simultaneous players about 8 hours ago. Although this puts itself ahead of Left 4 Dead, Back 4 Blood can’t get past L4D 2’s statistics. L4D 2 has hosted 162,399 simultaneous players during its prime period, almost tripled that figure.
Back 4 Blood’s performance on Steam doesn’t look bad. B4B is now the 19th most played game, ahead of the likes of Dead by Dylight and Fifa 22. Let’s see if the game can build on that performance momentum in the coming days.
