According to Steamdb, which keeps track of metrics related to games on Steam, such as active players, the beta of Turtle Rock Studios’ Back 4 Blood reached the groundbreaking number of 98,024 active players last Saturday. Since the all-time spike, the player count lowered by a considerate amount, but it continues to fluctuate between 40 and 70 thousand active players, with spikes of around 80K.Â
On Back 4 Blood, which is considered by many as the spiritual successor of the Left 4 Dead series, players can take on the role of a group of survivors in a 4-player co-op experience in which they need to work together as they fight against the Ridden, in their mission to reclaim what was lost.
You can check out the game’s PC trailer, as well as its official synopsis, as is featured on Steam, below:
