That’s five million players in a little over three months. So it’s not just that Siege is successful, it’s that Siege continues to have success at a surprising rate. Ubisoft’s previous announcements included 20 million in August 2017, 30 million in April 2018, on through to 35 million at E3 and now today’s announcement of 40 million. There hasn’t been a significant slowdown to that growth.
Those numbers will be somewhat boosted thanks to free weekends and other such promotions, but Ubisoft’s latest financial report (noted on ResetEra) also says monthly active users are up in October year over year, so more people are regularly playing now than they were 12 months ago. Maybe you can attribute that in part to a more robust Halloween event.
Ubisoft’s reported numbers cover all platforms. Specific to PC, Steam Charts shows that Siege has had an impressive average of 73,000 concurrent players over the past two months, the best it’s been since the high of 83,000 back in March. Even that doesn’t account for players sticking with Ubisoft’s own Uplay launcher.
