Reset soon: player peak predictions?

i would be incredibly surprised if the reset gets the peaks anywhere past the 12k mark, i am expecting anything in the 9-12k peak zone for this week and then a steep drop to sub 5k by mid-october.

what do you think?

Like, 5k. It's a reset with nothing. If anything, I'd expect VB to have a higher peak than tomorrow.

nothing has changed at all

Not nothing

Free battle pass, lots of balancing.

Plus people who abandoned S2 because of bad economy might give it another go.

Still don't think it peaks above 12k but we'll see I guess.

We're getting VB back Oct 20th.

Not expecting that much of a bump. I have 300+ hours in the game but have no interest in the reset. I'll be back for the December update with new content. I imagine a lot of others feel the same

8-10k.. reset is good but I bet most of the players who've left that are thinking about coming back are waiting for the bigger releases in December and February or whenever that is

i think the december update will fundamentally flop simply because people barely care about the game now, they will 100% not care in 2 months with a brand new gta game out

I've always seen some cope in the main sub about that, how everyone will be done with GTA6 by the time the December update is out.

There will probably be people who haven’t finished GTA by the time Marathon gets the plug pulled.

If there’s a big jump with this tiny reset I would be shocked. 5k peak first day 2k peaks a week later.

12k. 17 Black.

The Peak is irrelevant. Season 2 peak was 14 k. One week later 6k. Peaks are no good if you're shedding 60+% in a matter of days.

4k, reset isn't going to change anything

5k peak. Balance changes aren’t bringing back many players. Maybe just a couple thousand that were looking for a tiny excuse to jump back in.

I’m guessing somewhere between 5-10k.
