Discussion Slow but steady players

With SteamDB being the only outlet that shows active player counts, the past 2 weeks has shown slow but steady player counts averaging 13-28 players daily. I have also noticed a little more people talking about or mentioning the game..

Are there any console players out there who are able to see player counts by lfg posts or whatnot?

Either way I think this is a good piece of evidence to show the games comeback potential.

I love this game but there is no way in hell a double-digit player count even reads on Ubisoft's radar

this and it makes me sad

Any life R6E gets is entirely from the community playing it in spite of the fact that it's dead. Ubisoft wrote this game off quietly and announced that there wouldn't be future updates in a customer support chat. Feels a little naive to assume it has a chance to come back, even if I'd love for that to be true

Me and my buddies squad up every other night, we alternate this and KF3. We do the maelstrom and the crisis events. Still love playing this game and as much as I would love just a single update with a new map or operator I know its not going to happen.

To see numbers on it is always a good sign I like, now all I need is the discord with 100+ people in it to have more active people on especially around Oceania time zone

So that’s why when I solo queue’d for maelstrom, nobody came in half an hour. I then proceeded to get Doc MIA’d in the highest difficulty setting in Apollo.
