![]() The only thing left keeping streamer’s interest seems to be Skillshot and KEEMSTAR’s $100k weekly tournament, which is now the only time popular streamers like Ninja, Summit1g, and others still play Realm Royale live on their Twitch channels.īut Realm Royale is far from dead. Originally having 50-150k concurrent viewers back in June, Realm Royale now peaks at only few thousand concurrent viewers most days on Twitch. Viewer counts for Realm Royale have mirrored the player base. ![]() Most streamers on Twitch have also lost interest in playing and gone back to Fortnite. Half of the reviews have turned negative from players citing issues with the balancing of the game’s weapons and hitscan. Players who liked Fortnite’s aesthetics but don’t enjoy the building mechanics were happy to have another option in the BR genre that looked and played similar to Epic’s breakout hit.īut a quick look at the now-Mixed reviews on Steam give more insight into why the game has failed to catch on like Fortnite and overtake PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. One of the reasons for Realm Royale’s successful early access debut was the positive feedback from players for being one of Hi-Rez’s most polished games. And over this past weekend, the game was only able to pull in a peak of 7k concurrent players - a loss of 93% when compared to its first week. Just like all other battle royale games before it, week after week, Realm Royale’s player base has continued to decline. Unfortunately, Realm Royale also hasn’t come close to topping its six-figure peak since its first week on Steam. ![]() Apparently, most of the players' grievances are related to weapon imbalances and hitscan issues, the latter of which has plagued Paladins as well, and arguably still does.When Realm Royale debuted on Steam two months ago with a peak of only 4.6k concurrent players, it seemed like the latest game from the developer of the hero shooter, Paladins, wasn’t going to pay off for the studio.īut that same week, positive word of mouth and praise from some of Twitch’s biggest streamers like Ninja quickly spiked Realm Royale’s player base to an impressive peak of 105k concurrent players.Īt the time, we thought Realm Royale could be PUBG‘s first serious competition on Steam with no other recent battle royale game coming close to 100k players. I'd go as far as to say that this alone won't let the pop drop below 5,000.Įven though comparing player complaints to population may not always correlate to actual reasons of them leaving, it at least provides insight into potential game-breakers. There's also a small matter of Keemstar Thursday Realm Royale, which is a weekly tournament worth $100,000. That's not to say that the situation is alarming or anything, since Realm Royale is currently in closed beta on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, which is bound to boost numbers significantly. Unfortunately, Realm Royale's population now stands at slightly upwards of 5,000, which makes for a 100K loss in two months. Having peaked at 105,440 players on Steam in June, the signs were great because apparently, no recently launched battle royale games have managed to break the 100K mark. Even though this is perfectly normal, since no game retains the population it has at launch, Realm Royale's decline seems a bit steeper than that. Ironically enough, Realm Royale's heroic leap seems to not have worked, because the game's population has been on a downward path ever since it launched. With the company currently juggling Smite, Paladins and Realm Royale, it has been decided that the team in charge of Realm Royale will be called Heroic Leap Games. Well, not really Hi-Rez Studios, because the studio has recently decided to compartmentalise their efforts by splitting into three sub-studios under Hi-Rez's umbrella.
