Hellstraant 2 is a popular alien shooter, but the number of players on Steam has dropped significantly. The game was initially a huge success on Sony PlayStation, but today it is only 10% of its 458,709 concurrent players on Steam. The data shows that the peak number of players who are online at the same time dropped sharply to 166,305, continuing to decline to an average of 41,860 over the past 30 days. Sony's handling mistakes led to negative reviews and player dissatisfaction, including PSN issues that led to the game being withdrawn from sale in 177 countries.

The number of players on Steam has dropped
Arrowhead's Hellrunner 2 is a popular alien shooter, but there has been a significant drop in players on Steam. Initially, the game set a record for the best-selling game on Sony's PlayStation. However, the number of players on Steam has dwindled to just 10% of its peak of 458,709 concurrent players.
The player base is steadily decreasing
In late May, SteamDB data showed that Hellrunner 2's peak number of players concurrently online on Steam dropped sharply by 64% to 166,305. Subsequently, this number continued to decline and has now dropped to 35%, with an average of 41,860 concurrent players over the past 30 days. These declining numbers are indicative of the game's worrying trend on the Steam platform.
Sony's blunder and a backlash from the player community
Sony's mishandling of the situation, including issues with PlayStation Network (PSN), sparked a wave of negative reviews and discontent from the Hellrunner community. Due to the unavailability of PSN, the game was even withdrawn from sales in 177 countries, prompting Sony to reverse their decision. In addition, an official marketing email accidentally leaked a new game feature that showed weapons that didn't match any known weapons in the game, causing confusion among players.
