[QUOTE="Admin, post: 65052, member: 1"] Sony's Until Dawn remake for PlayStation 5 and PC is having a rough launch, with not just technical issues but low player numbers too. The remake of the 2015 horror game — [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/until-dawn-comes-to-playstation-5-and-pc-in-october-2024']which comes with updated graphics, technical improvements, and minor story changes[/URL] — launched October 4 with [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/until-dawn-on-ps5s-60-pricetag-reignites-remake-price-debate']a full price tag of $59.99[/URL] and no cheaper upgrade option for those who own the original. This seemingly wasn't too appealing for PC players, as Until Dawn has debuted to a peak concurrent player count of just 2,607 players on Steam, according to tracking website [URL='https://steamdb.info/app/2172010/charts/']SteamDB[/URL]. Other single-player PlayStation games performed much better when making the jump to PC, with Ghost of Tsushima reaching 77,154 concurrent players, God of War reaching 73,529, and Spider-Man reaching 66,436 on Valve's platform. Until Dawn's Steam launch is the worst Sony debut on Steam since the ill-fated [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/concord']Concord[/URL] and [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/sackboy-a-big-adventure']Sackboy: A Big Adventure[/URL]. This small player base is reporting myriad issues too. Until Dawn currently has a "mixed" user review rating on Steam with just 69% of reviews being positive.

Other reviews also comment on ray tracing and DLSS not working alongside graphical issues which "destroy immersion." Others comment on the full price tag for the originally nine-year-old game and it still launching with issues. Developer Ballistic Moon, which [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/until-dawn-remake-developer-ballistic-moon-lays-off-several-staff']suffered a "significant" round of lay-offs[/URL] even before the Until Dawn remake launched, has acknowledged the problems in an [URL='https://store.steampowered.com/app/2172010/Until_Dawn/#app_reviews_hash']post[/URL] released today, October 8. "We understand that some of you may have encountered some technical issues or bugs, and we’d love to hear from you so we can address these concerns," it said.
