Less than five weeks after launch, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 now has one million players.
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 now has 1 million players, a new post from the game’s official website has revealed. The news comes just over a month after the game launched on March 8.
To commemorate the milestone, developer Fatshark created an infograph displaying statistics about the game’s players, from the number of items collected to their player location. Vermintide 2 players have participated in approximately 15,213,000 logins since the game launched and around 5.8 million hours were spent watching the game on Twitch. Meanwhile, the game is most popular in the U.S., China, Russia, Germany, and the U.K.
“Our goal has always been to create the best co-op experience possible and we are happy to see that so many like our game,” Fatshark wrote.
Meanwhile, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 and the game’s Collector’s Edition are both on sale on Steam from April 12 to April 19 in celebration. Shoppers can enjoy a 10 percent discount on both games, which began at 12pm CT. The sale drops Vermintide 2 down to $26.99 and brings the Collector’s Edition to $40.49, respectively.
Vermintide 2 quickly became a fan-favorite after it was announced in mid-October, just two years after the original Warhammer: The End Times—Vermintide launched. Days after, Fatshark came out amid Star Wars: Battlefront II loot box controversy and vowed not to add any microtransactions into the then-upcoming game. The developer has since held true to that promise.
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is available for PC. The game’s PlayStation 4 and Xbox One releases are expected for later this year.
