Norse-themed survival and crafting game Valheim is still in Early Access but it’s already taking the PC gaming world by storm. Its concurrent player count has nearly topped 350,000 in only two weeks, surpassing multiplayer behemoth titles like PUBG, Apex Legends, and Grant Theft Auto V. In fact, only Valve’s own Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offense are currently higher.
The data comes from Steam Charts, which shows that as of February 14, the concurrent player count is at 345,345 and boasts an average of 111,849 players per day.
Quite the impressive numbers indeed, but unsurprising, since it sold over one million copies in its first week of Early Access release alone. That was also coupled with 160,000 concurrent players on the PC and a peak of 127,000 Twitch viewers during the same first week.
