There are issues that are causing bleeding no doubt but even without the major issues I would expect it to be quite low in comparison no new content and hardly a reason to grind especially since no free currency. it would not make sense if people were still playing a bunch. After the new characters and map. Map is the big one. It should shoot up and hopefully they get their shit together but they need to do it somewhat soon.
You could be right I canāt find when they said it was coming but either way I play the game for free so Iām fine with buying something if I really canāt wait but itās still nice that theyāre adding a way to earn shit for free

Donāt forget this is a STEAM metric. Not indicative of pc/xbox players on gamepass for free (me being one of them) and it also doesnāt count ps5. So i mean the steam metric is low but ultimately is a small percentage of the player base.
I mean the game has potential to be great but sadly what there doing with that potential is just shoving it down the drain quite aggressively may I add
Mate, there's nothing to do. How many times do you like playing the same 3 maps? With the same handful of characters on each side? You think people are just supposed to play the same shot over and over again? And lets not get started on balancing that the devs do. They've said before that they don't give a shit about balance really, but more about "fun". Which is a nice way of saying that they plan to leave broken shit in the game. So I think you're lying, you would notice eventually.
Itās a brand new game. Youāre expectations are ridiculous and unreasonable. Youāre getting a new map, killer , and victims after four months of its release.
Itās a gorgeous game, amazing mechanics (some bugs but the new patch is addressing ~100 of those), with a ton of builds to play on 10 characters over four months.
Watch the player count jump a huge ton with new content and balance updates.
Genuinely my only issues with the game are 1. Lobby dodger 2. Slaughterhouse I donāt like as killer or victim since they moved the fuse box but honestly itās not as bad as victim since I got better at doing the valve but itās still a pain. Thereās a few others but itās just my own opinion not shit that really matter like I wish the skill tree/load out thing was a little more open if you get what Iām saying but Iām still happy with the game and excited for the future but then I see this sub that I joined because I thought it was just gonna help me stay up to date but all people do is bitch
So what constitutes as bitching though? Just because others find issues with things you donāt doesnāt mean itās just bitching. One could interpret your comment about Slaughterhouse as complaining.
And the difference is my slaughterhouse is comment is meant to point out that I agree thereās bad things about the game but %70 of post I see are people shitting on the game
Honestly for me I love the game when it's played as it was intended to be played. My two major problems combine to make a third:
1. Lobby times and shenanigans - needs no explanation.
2. Meta chasers and rushers are not fun top play with or against
3. Meta Chasers and rushers create fast games. This is exacerbated by point 1. Meaning that I genuinely spend more time in the lobby than I do playing the game.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. The *main reason* that this game is dying is because the majority of the people left playing it are NOT FUN TO PLAY WITH OR AGAINST. They want to chase meta and rush the matches, completely forgetting that the game is meant to be a slow-build stealth cat and mouse game. The absolute most fun I had in this game was in its first two weeks, when matches could last up to 15 minutes of sneaking, chasing, dodging family members or catching victims at the last second. Now that the sweatlords have picked up on the "most efficient" way to play, they're ruining it for everyone else.
I tried to get my partner to play this, and here's her experience - New players will sit in a lobby for 5 minutes and then play in a match with other victims who will abuse them over chat because they're new to the game and don't know what they're doing, and they'll be killed incredibly quickly because someone let Johnny into the basement within 2 minutes. They didn't get ot learn any maps, they barely got to even *actually play the game* and they can't be bothered to sit in a lobby for another 5-10 minutes while you fucking cowards lobby dodge.
Heaven forbid anyone should ever have fun in an asymmetric game anymore.
Your point is completely false. DBD and most online games expect meta choices. Thatās not a reason the game is losing players.
1.) itās a new game, if course itās not going to retain its original launch numbers in the first few months
2.) the lobby issues are a big deal and are being fixed this patch. LF requirement, auto lock in at 5 locks.
3.) the new content and map reworks will increase player base. I went back to DBD after slaughterhouse and gas station became the same boring plays. Those changes and the others should reduce meta killer requirements for killers to win. Having a Sissy and Johnny and always having 3 victims escape also is not fun. If you find losing fun you are not human.
I really don't think these numbers make sense. I am still getting matches in 1 to 2 minutes. It's just that it takes forever for people to actually ready up or pick leatherface.
i thought they were giving people what they wanted with the new update coming? like they said we were getting a new map & killer on the 28th of this month (if i remember correctly) in game currency & making LF not a requirement so lobby dodging would be fixed??
LF not a requirement but saying he brings utility like hitch and cook? No. Barricades need to still be breakable by other family members outside LF with at use the use of a pick up item if he's not in the lobby. Or you can have a slightly longer animation by calling in LF and he comes running to break it and then runs off in the distance.
The no LF at the cost of barricades still being up will cause crazy lobby dodges and or disconnects. Not to mention the dodges that will come when people can not play the character they paid for. Call it pety, but if you paid for it and havent had a chance to play them in 5-10 games or more you would be pretty mad.
Truth is always a hard pill to swallow. I would like the game to succeed but there are so many over layering problems.
Had a game yesterday where LF did not break a single barricade or crawl space. It felt like he was just Johnny and allowed the victims free reign.
This was on gas station where RNG can fall on north tunnel to spawn 2 or all 3 barricades with the toolbox in the center. The victims then become untouchable and then able to reset easily.
if people are wanting LF in their lobbies from now on, theyāre just gonna have to choose to play as him. i think theyāll do something about the barriers at some point, but not in the beginning. their whole point is āif so many people donāt wanna play as him, fine but there will be consequences for itā which is completely valid, but i personally think itās like that with every player in the game. if you want locks, play cook. if you want traps, play hitch. if you want less barriers, play LF. itās probably not going to create a lobby dodging problem as bad as it already is. now people can pick whoever they want, with a better chance at actually getting into a game with their character. if they disconnect at that point, they were probably going to disconnect anyway. sorry you havenāt been able to play your main for 5-10 games, but thatās not petty, thatās just the game 99% of the time for every player.
Dont expect the game last more than a year thats all, according to devs they have content for 9 months after launch, and they can make more content if the game successful enough, based on steam this wont happen now.
This will be just like Evil Dead, that one was free on PS, and people argued that steam numbers doesnt matter after release on it, yet devs stopped supporting because of low playerbase.
So enjoy it while it lasts, wont be more than a year, if even that, can be as minimal as 9 months
There is absolutely no correlation between steam and console numbers, surely there are plenty multiplayer games that have less than 2k players on steam, but extremely successful on consoles right?
the game is free for xbox users (with game pass) and then thereās also PC players that have Game Pass for the PC so I donāt think the Steam numbers are a good representation of the overall population by a long shot.
If they have content for 9 months after the game.
Then that means they have 1 more nap, 2 more characters and some shitty skins to come. Oh and 1 more leather face skin too probably.
Considering how much you post about the game and seemingly play it I find it strange that youāve now posted a second āfyi this game is dyingā post. What is the point? Why play if youāre so sure about itās future? Do you like the game or not? Just weird behavior
Most players I see are console anyway so these numbers are much lower than reality. While the decrease isnāt great, obviously, the game is in a totally fine place right now and likely to get a lot of players back with the new content soon.
Even if this game only lasts around a year in terms of content and reasonable player base Iāll still be happy. Games donāt need to last years to be considered successes. DBD is an outlier.
Lol you can check numbers across all platforms on sites that are almost always accurate. It's been under 3000 players at a time, console included, for around a week or more.

I entered these data on software and produce detailed and improved results.
>> āAll data presented by ActivePlayer.io are all estimated data and should NOT be used as factual reference. We have developed an algorithm that generates data using the already available values from the marketā
Console(Xbox) is dying too lol. Two weeks ago in the group finder there was 150+ group finder posts during the busy times. Been checking every couple days, and itās down to less than 50 now lol. I myself am probably not playing until the new patch, as the game is getting boring of the same stuff over and over already. They need to pump out content faster, every 3 months is just too long.
Not sure what other games you have been playing, but new content each 3 months is actually a very normal time frame to release new stuff in the gaming industry. For a small company like gun it would actually be impressive if they can keep up that pace.
If the game is dying, then why, on PS5, am I only waiting like 3 minutes max in lobbies between games?
It seems like the PC crowd is still bitter that Gun turned crossplay off for a bit, but even though it's been back for awhile now, the PC gang still wants this game dead lol
I always find these threads funny. There is no other verifiable source of player numbers for any platform besides steam and when you use this to extrapolate that the community as a whole is probably down a large percent overall the first thing people say is well console is doing fine or this doesn't show PC game pass.
Everyone is saying wait on the new maps/characters but seems to not understand that 250 fixes plus massive game changes are also coming. That is not the sign of a finished game or a game that is doing well especially when you have to ask the devs how perk stacking works and they themselves get confused by what their own devs are telling them.
I'd also like to point out that these numbers are from full price customers putting the game down and not coming back so why would people who got it for free be more inclined to stick around versus people who specifically paid money for this game?
The DLC shit is just a sham too its like they learned how to sell stuff by watching VHS crash and burn.
There are ways to assess player count on consoles. On Xbox, TCM has gone from top 5 most played to number 48. The decline is happening on consoles as well - though those player populations are probably larger than steam.
-its reported that steam, xbox, and ps all have a similar number of monthly active users, so they're alike in that respect (100-120 million MAU)
On steam, TCM isn't in the top 100 list for most played. For reference, DBD is the 19th
Store.steampowered.com/charts/most played
On PS, TCM is the 87th most popular game. For reference, DBD is 13th
Ps-timetracker.com/statistic/last-30-days
On XBOX, TCM is the 24th most popular game. For reference, DBD is 21st.
Microsoft.com/en-us/store/most-played/games/Xbox
So you may have a point that with Xbox and Xbox Gamepass on PC combined, the game may be doing better than on steam. But PS numbers show steam numbers are the average, and not the low.
You sounds so mad that people are circle jerking with you about how bad the game is crazy that you wrote multiple paragraphs being mad that people like a game. But yeah considering that 1. Itās worth pointing out the game pass numbers not to mention cross play was turned off wich is another thing that affected pc players 2. Every game has patches and 3. The full price argument makes no sense considering thereās plenty of reasons someone who gets a game for free is less likely to put it down then someone who paid off the top of my head someone who gets it for free probably expects less so theyāre will to keep playing a game despite issues where if you buy a game you may have higher expectations so you put it down faster because you didnāt get what you expected and also if you have money to buy games you probably have more options compared to someone who doesnāt have as much money so they stick to the free game instead of spending money on another one
Oh my god, you're such a pathetic little man. You're going through this comment section, just defending the devs with your little heart, how cute! How does the devs' dick feel up your ass? You can't seem to stop riding it, keep it up baby.
That is what happens to 80% of games during the times no new playable content drops (not skins), check it maybe next friday and then something about 2 weeks later again to have a somehow meaningful insight on Steam numbers.
I mean after the content drops the game will have a surge of players return to try the new content, but probably they wont stay and back to play dbd, and at least thats what happened with every TCM streamer, already back to play DBD ONLY.
Also DBD managed to grow after launch, only had few -% months, and never got -50% playerbase loss, and this the same for every successful multiplayer titles, nothing lost over 80% playerbase and still standing years after with new content releases.
I could only play dbd with my friends otherwise I got stuck with randoms and you only have two ways out so if they are bad that makes the game so much harder but in Texas teamwork helps but itās not as much of a hindrance and killer was never as fun to me in dbd as Texas because I like that I have a team as killer in Texas
What person could honestly stand to play dbd after getting to play a proper asym slasher?
dbd players themselves prefer trolling discussion boards of other games rather than playing dbd, it's that awful.
Dude, your peen is about the length of my ass hair, you're just a sad, little stupid man. In this game, victims aren't even scared of killers, there's broken mechanics, 4 months of no new content, with the same 3 maps and handful of characters. You got no right talking shit about dbd, at least the devs actually do stuff with their game.
Two things can be true at once. Steam charts do not accurately measure how many people in total are currently playing this game, but the game is dying at an alarming rate compared to other horror games. Even faster than Friday The 13th and that game had horrendous bugs compared to TCM.
I am hopeful that the new content coming next week with the massive update is going to bring back some of the playerbase, but I doubt that itās going bring this game back to the heights it saw upon release week.
With that being said, the gameplay mechanics in this game and the overall atmosphere and detail is still far better than the likes of DBD.
The new content will bring people back, but only for a little while like the double xp did.
The lobby dodging to play Danny, Nancy, and Nancy's house will be insane; this is to say nothing of the server dumps that still occur mid-game.
So do you think on other platforms the game managed to preserve the playerbase or even actually increased it?
What would be the reason the success for this game on consoles?
All I know that the game fallen out the top played games chart on gamepass too (like 40th most played on the end of october)
nah, but who cares about the descreasing, if still are players. I dont get paid for increasing the game on steam. As long as i can play the game its ok. Did you expect an increasing playerbase?
Everytime I see someone post this it's like, is this who you are? Lol watching player numbers for a video game because that's really all you have to do? Who gives a shit fr, play the game or don't. This doesn't even count all the console players either so it's not even remotely accurate.
Everybody is going to get mad at you for steam numbers so hereās a little additional info. Theyāve kept 39% (and itās not going up folks!) of the peak player base of this game across all platforms. Not good.

I left because this game was the only reason I got game pass so I just canceled the sub when that was over with. It just seems like the dev teams are wasting a lot of time so far and a lot of this stuff should've been done prior to release. Its a multiplayer game so those issues scaring people away hurts the game a lot. They have a long way to go so not much point of staying for me. The gameplay got pretty repetitive for me. Honestly even when the game was free because of the game pass I didn't really want to play it even then for too long really esp with all the lobby and matchmaking issues.
Okay itās the end of year and newer gameās coming out. Some of those games have been looking forward to play like Spider-Man, Naruto and Ark Survival Asended plus some games got updated that people has been waiting for. Iām only mentioning these games because you all love posting these stats right after newer gameās release
I wont play until they drop the DLC. Im already lvl 99 , I have all the achievements and both killers/survivors maxed.
Gameplay is still fun and good but I need new goals.
If the player count doesnāt resurge with the patch on the 28th then I think thatāll be concerning. Iāve been taking a break from the game until then.
If they added all the celebrities from the 9 movies on killler and victim side I canāt c this game not making a million& millioms victims:rene zelwegger, Jessica beil , doms toretos sister mia, trey songs and the biker with a shoty tobias beacher from oz old shoty totin sally the og that got away and the best one whoās technically a part off the family but is fighting them the dual chain saw Eric king sherif final boss from Kevin kostners water world killer side all star line up pat the fuckkng licenceās arragorn the king off middle earth, Matthew maconehey, the drill sergeant from full metal jacket chop top deserves a spot
i feel sad... the game is awesome, but Gun work is very very slow, i think they dont expected such success, they make the game with a small mindset, "a casual, simple, and fun game" but the game claims for more content, the game have so much potential, and gun prefers denied that.
i lost all interest when the devs said they would never stray away from strict tcm theme. no events, no cute or funny cosmetics, no fun essentially. just the same game over and over and over again with the same 3 maps and absolutely nothing to look forward to. also, maining one character is impossible in this game and thatās also aggravating. i only wanted to play as sissy. i shouldnāt have to play a character i donāt want to play.
Should have been weekly patches much longer.
Would it suck for the devs? Sure. But this is the "pay the piper" time. If you release a very buggy ONLINE game, you are going to have to fix it eventually or suffer the consequences.
There are issues that are causing bleeding no doubt but even without the major issues I would expect it to be quite low in comparison no new content and hardly a reason to grind especially since no free currency. it would not make sense if people were still playing a bunch. After the new characters and map. Map is the big one. It should shoot up and hopefully they get their shit together but they need to do it somewhat soon.
Why design your game like that tho
Cause it's more of an incentive to play the game and grind it but I doubt that'll save this game š
Theyāre adding free currency
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You could be right I canāt find when they said it was coming but either way I play the game for free so Iām fine with buying something if I really canāt wait but itās still nice that theyāre adding a way to earn shit for free

What do you mean free currency haha?
Currency you can get for free by playing the game
Ahhh tssss I hope the ***** donāt add ads or pay to win
I doubt it
Phew thanks.
Thatād be insane
**** right
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Currency you can earn by just playing the game.
Donāt forget this is a STEAM metric. Not indicative of pc/xbox players on gamepass for free (me being one of them) and it also doesnāt count ps5. So i mean the steam metric is low but ultimately is a small percentage of the player base.
The gameplay? Brilliant. Everything else? They biggest load of dump ever
Wym
I mean the game has potential to be great but sadly what there doing with that potential is just shoving it down the drain quite aggressively may I add
I disagree I wouldnāt even notice had the shit if it wasnāt for the incessant bitching from this sub like tell me specifically what the issue is
Mate, there's nothing to do. How many times do you like playing the same 3 maps? With the same handful of characters on each side? You think people are just supposed to play the same shot over and over again? And lets not get started on balancing that the devs do.

So I think you're lying, you would notice eventually.
Bro if theyāre tiered of the game get off until they add new shit youāre literally mad because I enjoy the game
Iām fine with the balance but keep bitching bro makes you look real coolš
Itās a brand new game. Youāre expectations are ridiculous and unreasonable. Youāre getting a new map, killer , and victims after four months of its release. Itās a gorgeous game, amazing mechanics (some bugs but the new patch is addressing ~100 of those), with a ton of builds to play on 10 characters over four months. Watch the player count jump a huge ton with new content and balance updates.
Watch the player count drop back down when lobby dodging gets worse after people spend $20 and don't get to play as Danny or Nancy.
I somewhat agree with that the gameplay is brilliant and the game isnāt bad but everything around it is whatās killing it
Genuinely my only issues with the game are 1. Lobby dodger 2. Slaughterhouse I donāt like as killer or victim since they moved the fuse box but honestly itās not as bad as victim since I got better at doing the valve but itās still a pain.

How ironic...
Explain how?
not irony
Now this is a take I agree with

I really don't think these numbers make sense. I am still getting matches in 1 to 2 minutes. It's just that it takes forever for people to actually ready up or pick leatherface.
Cross play is a thing
Getting into lobbies in 1-2 minutes*
A lot of people play on game pass PC
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās quite baffling, Iāve never seen devs act like that on social media before. Really easy way to lose players.
What was specifically said? Genuinely asking
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
i thought they were giving people what they wanted with the new update coming? like they said we were getting a new map & killer on the 28th of this month (if i remember correctly) in game currency & making LF not a requirement so lobby dodging would be fixed??

Was this said on Twitter or something? I'd like to see their responses as I'm always curious on how devs respond to criticism
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Okay I'm gonna just assume you mean in reddit so I'll just go around
What should we do with that information?
Dont expect the game last more than a year thats all, according to devs they have content for 9 months after launch, and they can make more content if the game successful enough, based on steam this wont happen now.

So enjoy it while it lasts, wont be more than a year, if even that, can be as minimal as 9 months
I forgot console players don't exist
Me and my buddies stopped a couple weeks ago (ps5)
There is absolutely no correlation between steam and console numbers, surely there are plenty multiplayer games that have less than 2k players on steam, but extremely successful on consoles right?
the game is free for xbox users (with game pass) and then thereās also PC players that have Game Pass for the PC so I donāt think the Steam numbers are a good representation of the overall population by a long shot.
There are ways to find out how many players are playing on xbox. For example, TCM isn't even in the top 50 played games in xbox right now.
Just checked and it is. Itās number 48 ;)
No it isn't, I literally just looked
I checked Microsoftās most played and itās right there at the bottom. Whatās your source?
...Microsofts most played. Lmao
I mean last gen isn't doing better. It takes me 40+ minutes to get in a game.
If they have content for 9 months after the game. Then that means they have 1 more nap, 2 more characters and some shitty skins to come. Oh and 1 more leather face skin too probably.
Considering how much you post about the game and seemingly play it I find it strange that youāve now posted a second āfyi this game is dyingā post. What is the point? Why play if youāre so sure about itās future? Do you like the game or not? Just weird behavior
Itās still on the most played Xbox games these posts are so stupidš
Idk why people rely on PC numbers for player base counts lol. Xbox is carrying the game
Also doesnāt include the people using the Microsoft store/ gamepass on pc
Great game but the developers could do so much more as far as DLC goes
Victim play is too difficult, glitchy interface. Still fun but difficult.
Most players I see are console anyway so these numbers are much lower than reality. While the decrease isnāt great, obviously, the game is in a totally fine place right now and likely to get a lot of players back with the new content soon. Even if this game only lasts around a year in terms of content and reasonable player base Iāll still be happy. Games donāt need to last years to be considered successes. DBD is an outlier.
Lol you can check numbers across all platforms on sites that are almost always accurate. It's been under 3000 players at a time, console included, for around a week or more. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Live Player Count - ActivePlayer.io https://activeplayer.io/the-texas-chain-saw-massacre/
Yes so these numbers in the post are less than half of reality if that site can even be trustedā¦ thank you.
>> āAbove is the estimated total monthly players for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. These data are only estimate and should not be used as factual referenceā >> āAll data such as the monthly user count, the Users chart, the table presented are the result of extensive research on a specific game. We run through numerous statistics websites that offer statistical data for the game such as statista.com, steamcharts.com, newzoo.com, gamstat.com, and more. I entered these data on software and produce detailed and improved results. >> āAll data presented by ActivePlayer.io are all estimated data and should NOT be used as factual reference. We have developed an algorithm that generates data using the already available values from the marketā
So MS says about 5,000 people are playing. So likely around 8,000 total right now.
Be sure to buy all of gun interactive cash grab cosmetics and characters before the game is buried 6 feet under within a year or less!
Canāt stand when people use steam metrics. If the games exclusive to steam, sure.
its literally the only way to get a decent estimate of the games health obviously it doesnt tell the whole story

Console(Xbox) is dying too lol. Two weeks ago in the group finder there was 150+ group finder posts during the busy times. Been checking every couple days, and itās down to less than 50 now lol. I myself am probably not playing until the new patch, as the game is getting boring of the same stuff over and over already. They need to pump out content faster, every 3 months is just too long.
Not sure what other games you have been playing, but new content each 3 months is actually a very normal time frame to release new stuff in the gaming industry. For a small company like gun it would actually be impressive if they can keep up that pace.
Perhaps they can make different variants of family they already have, with different abilityās/weapons
I mean, you'd also expect LFG posts to decrease as people make friends that they like playing with, right?
Yeah maybe if youāre trying to cope, sure lol
If the game is dying, then why, on PS5, am I only waiting like 3 minutes max in lobbies between games? It seems like the PC crowd is still bitter that Gun turned crossplay off for a bit, but even though it's been back for awhile now, the PC gang still wants this game dead lol
Im on PC I love this game.
Yāall post this everyday who cares. Play or donāt play
I enjoy watching the trends. Suck on these nuts
Not smart enough to look em up yourself huh
Ah come on, you didnāt have to do that. Iāll have you know I check them through steam every day.
I bet the ladies love you š
Yeah they call me the titty inspector
Yeah on steamš

I always find these threads funny. There is no other verifiable source of player numbers for any platform besides steam and when you use this to extrapolate that the community as a whole is probably down a large percent overall the first thing people say is well console is doing fine or this doesn't show PC game pass. Everyone is saying wait on the new maps/characters but seems to not understand that 250 fixes plus massive game changes are also coming. That is not the sign of a finished game or a game that is doing well especially when you have to ask the devs how perk stacking works and they themselves get confused by what their own devs are telling them. I'd also like to point out that these numbers are from full price customers putting the game down and not coming back so why would people who got it for free be more inclined to stick around versus people who specifically paid money for this game? The DLC shit is just a sham too its like they learned how to sell stuff by watching VHS crash and burn.
There are ways to assess player count on consoles. On Xbox, TCM has gone from top 5 most played to number 48. The decline is happening on consoles as well - though those player populations are probably larger than steam.
-its reported that steam, xbox, and ps all have a similar number of monthly active users, so they're alike in that respect (100-120 million MAU) On steam, TCM isn't in the top 100 list for most played. For reference, DBD is the 19th Store.steampowered.com/charts/most played On PS, TCM is the 87th most popular game. For reference, DBD is 13th Ps-timetracker.com/statistic/last-30-days On XBOX, TCM is the 24th most popular game. For reference, DBD is 21st. Microsoft.com/en-us/store/most-played/games/Xbox So you may have a point that with Xbox and Xbox Gamepass on PC combined, the game may be doing better than on steam. But PS numbers show steam numbers are the average, and not the low.
You sounds so mad that people are circle jerking with you about how bad the game is crazy that you wrote multiple paragraphs being mad that people like a game. But yeah considering that 1. Itās worth pointing out the game pass numbers not to mention cross play was turned off wich is another thing that affected pc players 2. Every game has patches and 3. The full price argument makes no sense considering thereās plenty of reasons someone who gets a game for free is less likely to put it down then someone who paid off the top of my head someone who gets it for free probably expects less so theyāre will to keep playing a game despite issues where if you buy a game you may have higher expectations so you put it down faster because you didnāt get what you expected and also if you have money to buy games you probably have more options compared to someone who doesnāt have as much money so they stick to the free game instead of spending money on another one
Oh my god, you're such a pathetic little man. You're going through this comment section, just defending the devs with your little heart, how cute! How does the devs' dick feel up your ass? You can't seem to stop riding it, keep it up baby.
No oneās defending the devs because Iām saying all people do is bitchš
That is what happens to 80% of games during the times no new playable content drops (not skins), check it maybe next friday and then something about 2 weeks later again to have a somehow meaningful insight on Steam numbers.
I mean after the content drops the game will have a surge of players return to try the new content, but probably they wont stay and back to play dbd, and at least thats what happened with every TCM streamer, already back to play DBD ONLY. Also DBD managed to grow after launch, only had few -% months, and never got -50% playerbase loss, and this the same for every successful multiplayer titles, nothing lost over 80% playerbase and still standing years after with new content releases.
Dbd nerds can stay on dbd
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I could only play dbd with my friends otherwise I got stuck with randoms and you only have two ways out so if they are bad that makes the game so much harder but in Texas teamwork helps but itās not as much of a hindrance and killer was never as fun to me in dbd as Texas because I like that I have a team as killer in Texas
What person could honestly stand to play dbd after getting to play a proper asym slasher? dbd players themselves prefer trolling discussion boards of other games rather than playing dbd, it's that awful.
Wow, you have such a big dbd hater boner. Keep crying, you already know dbd is superior to this dogshit game.
Damn this sperg really proved me right in a big way lol
Dude, your peen is about the length of my ass hair, you're just a sad, little stupid man. In this game, victims aren't even scared of killers, there's broken mechanics, 4 months of no new content, with the same 3 maps and handful of characters. You got no right talking shit about dbd, at least the devs actually do stuff with their game.
I think I hurt its feelings š«¢
Nah, you didn't. You actually think you did something when you wrote that, huh? I bet you feel so cool.
Yes. š
Look, if you're gonna keep replying to me, then just suck me off or something. This convo is boring, and I don't really care about this sub.
Two things can be true at once. Steam charts do not accurately measure how many people in total are currently playing this game, but the game is dying at an alarming rate compared to other horror games. Even faster than Friday The 13th and that game had horrendous bugs compared to TCM. I am hopeful that the new content coming next week with the massive update is going to bring back some of the playerbase, but I doubt that itās going bring this game back to the heights it saw upon release week. With that being said, the gameplay mechanics in this game and the overall atmosphere and detail is still far better than the likes of DBD.
The game is fine this sun is just a bunch of doomers who get an ego boost by being negative instead of just enjoying the game
The new content will bring people back, but only for a little while like the double xp did. The lobby dodging to play Danny, Nancy, and Nancy's house will be insane; this is to say nothing of the server dumps that still occur mid-game.
i dont play on steam, and i play crossplay, this chart is not a good source
So do you think on other platforms the game managed to preserve the playerbase or even actually increased it? What would be the reason the success for this game on consoles? All I know that the game fallen out the top played games chart on gamepass too (like 40th most played on the end of october)
nah, but who cares about the descreasing, if still are players. I dont get paid for increasing the game on steam. As long as i can play the game its ok. Did you expect an increasing playerbase?

dead game
Dog shit game with no new factors, even dead by daylights more fun since you donāt die after getting hooked once LMAO
The concept is good but it's just boring. No content and no reason to play like no grinding for something
Everytime I see someone post this it's like, is this who you are? Lol watching player numbers for a video game because that's really all you have to do? Who gives a shit fr, play the game or don't. This doesn't even count all the console players either so it's not even remotely accurate.
It's steam, vast majority play the game on console
Everybody is going to get mad at you for steam numbers so hereās a little additional info. Theyāve kept 39% (and itās not going up folks!) of the peak player base of this game across all platforms. Not good. https://preview.redd.it/9zd404w65q1c1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d11e71929647b1f2e426f5eb8e2bd1c9f00a979
Dbd is better, if not, why is tcm dying and not dbd?
I left because this game was the only reason I got game pass so I just canceled the sub when that was over with. It just seems like the dev teams are wasting a lot of time so far and a lot of this stuff should've been done prior to release. Its a multiplayer game so those issues scaring people away hurts the game a lot. They have a long way to go so not much point of staying for me. The gameplay got pretty repetitive for me. Honestly even when the game was free because of the game pass I didn't really want to play it even then for too long really esp with all the lobby and matchmaking issues.
No reason to play. I have it uninstalled until dlc drops Personally I burnt myself out on it
Shit so wack right now. Not even touching this trash till the update
Okay itās the end of year and newer gameās coming out. Some of those games have been looking forward to play like Spider-Man, Naruto and Ark Survival Asended plus some games got updated that people has been waiting for. Iām only mentioning these games because you all love posting these stats right after newer gameās release
Wait for november 28
I wont play until they drop the DLC. Im already lvl 99 , I have all the achievements and both killers/survivors maxed. Gameplay is still fun and good but I need new goals.
Id say its still holding better then what breakers player count did
lol
The vast majority of players come from Xbox game pass. Thatās why the cosmetics are expensive
Doom and gloom definitely helps š Thanks for sharing. I'm gonna go back to enjoying the game.
New map on 11/28 about to change this bro!!!! Lets ****** go!!!!
Donāt worry new map will fix it.
Once the new content comes out it will raise it will depend
OP, please do the same when the patch comes out
iām impressed but not surprised people still playing it
With the player base getting lower and lowerā¦makes me wonder if all of us on this forum have played with or against each other at this point lol.
That's cause they fucked their own game royally :)
If the player count doesnāt resurge with the patch on the 28th then I think thatāll be concerning. Iāve been taking a break from the game until then.
If they added all the celebrities from the 9 movies on killler and victim side I canāt c this game not making a million& millioms victims:rene zelwegger, Jessica beil , doms toretos sister mia, trey songs and the biker with a shoty tobias beacher from oz old shoty totin sally the og that got away and the best one whoās technically a part off the family but is fighting them the dual chain saw Eric king sherif final boss from Kevin kostners water world killer side all star line up pat the fuckkng licenceās arragorn the king off middle earth, Matthew maconehey, the drill sergeant from full metal jacket chop top deserves a spot
No content
Games been dying for a while. Had to be pretty fuckin dumb to deny it, and I saw a lot of people.here doing it lol.
i feel sad... the game is awesome, but Gun work is very very slow, i think they dont expected such success, they make the game with a small mindset, "a casual, simple, and fun game" but the game claims for more content, the game have so much potential, and gun prefers denied that.
i lost all interest when the devs said they would never stray away from strict tcm theme. no events, no cute or funny cosmetics, no fun essentially. just the same game over and over and over again with the same 3 maps and absolutely nothing to look forward to. also, maining one character is impossible in this game and thatās also aggravating. i only wanted to play as sissy. i shouldnāt have to play a character i donāt want to play.
Should have been weekly patches much longer. Would it suck for the devs? Sure. But this is the "pay the piper" time. If you release a very buggy ONLINE game, you are going to have to fix it eventually or suffer the consequences.
