Slay the Spire 2's Huge Early Access Debut
"Slay the Spire 2" launched into early access on March 5 and immediately exploded on Steam, peaking at 574,638 simultaneous players https://www.dualshockers.com/slay-the-spire-2-is-this-years-silksong-and-its-already-exploding-on-steam/.
That peak concurrent player count puts "Slay the Spire 2" in the top 30 games on Steam ever, surpassing heavy hitters like "Elden Ring" and "Cyberpunk 2077". The game's predecessor, "Slay the Spire," also saw great success, but the sequel's launch numbers dwarf the original's. This likely reflects both the established fanbase and the increased visibility afforded by Steam's platform. Some fans are calling "Slay the Spire 2" "this year's Silksong," referencing the long-awaited "Hollow Knight" sequel that has become a meme within the gaming community due to its extended development period and lack of release date.
