If you hadn't yet noticed, Viking survival game Valheim is really hitting the big time – and after selling 3m copies in 16 days, it's now reached a concurrent player peak of over 500k. Not bad for a dev team of only five people.
According to Steam Charts, yesterday Valheim hit a milestone of 502,387 concurrent players, putting it up there with some pretty massive games. Only four other titles have ever achieved a concurrent peak of over 500k: PUBG, CS:GO, Dota 2 and Cyberpunk 2077. That means Valheim has achieved a higher player peak than Terraria, Fallout 4 and Among Us (although it's worth noting that many of these games released on several platforms – Among Us was hugely popular on mobile, pushing it to an overall peak of 1.5m).
Valheim also has a little way to go before challenging PUBG for the top spot, as the battle royale peaked at a whopping 3.2m concurrent players in January 2018.
