NotZombieBiscuit 3145 Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) Thought some of you might find insight in this recent event regarding Steam's API and leaks that allowed estimates on total player counts for games based around achievement completions. A good article on the subject here. This estimation puts APB at the 39th largest player count with 5,874,946 players. Of course this has a few issues that go beyond just estimations and likely miss some games or other variables that can put numbers way off, but is interesting to see anyway. Note this is also only just steam and would not include those who played the game through the launcher itself.

Triksterism 137 Posted July 7, 2018 90% of these players are people who probably tried the game for an hour and uninstalled 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The mentality of that is beyond ignorant. If you really think 255 silvers don't have an advantage over a new player of similar skill level during a vehicle mission you got some issues.

TGYuurei 10 Posted July 7, 2018 Now it's probably at what, low thousands? Honestly I still think this game is trash and it has a LONG way before it can reach what it once was. And in light of that, I've decided to stop even bothering to even continue to try and play until 3.5 or maybe even UE4, if that ever even makes it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lato 188 Posted July 7, 2018 Yeah..new players don't understand anything about the game, they see Armas "oh this game must be p2w" and they leave..big surprise there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mitne 712 Posted July 7, 2018 If they somehow bring it to 10k players now, I will be impressed. I'm honest... that was highest real population at the same time in CBT and OBT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
