Bulkhead’s tactical shooter Wardogs launched into Steam Early Access and instantly surpassed 1 million copies sold while drawing more than 350,000 concurrent players within hours, causing server queues. The PC game is currently Steam-only at £36.99, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions planned for 2028.

Destiny 2’s Final Update Triggers a Steam Spike While Marathon Slumps

Destiny 2’s Monument of Triumph, released June 9, delivered a sweeping overhaul that revived interest and sent Steam concurrent players to 167,867—the highest in months—thanks to bringing back vaulted content, reversing some recent design choices, and bundling all expansions in Destiny 2: The Collection on sale. The update’s strong reception boosted Destiny 2’s visibility on Steam (even triggering a Destiny 3 petition chatter), while Bungie’s extraction shooter Marathon continued losing players after a brief free-trial bump, peaking at 17,986 and dipping to 10,921 earlier this month.
