The Until Dawn remake released last week, bringing the acclaimed 2015 horror adventure game to PS5 and PC in enhanced and upgraded form. Of course, for the latter platform, this is also the first time ever that Until Dawn has become playable, though it seems like the game has failed to attract much of an audience upon its release.
As pr SteamDB, over the course of its launch weekend, Until Dawn saw a peak of just 2,607 concurrent players on Steam, which is among the worst launches for a PlayStation title on the platform, ranking below the likes of Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart (8,757 peak concurrent players) and Returnal (6,691 peak concurrent players).
In fact, the only two PlayStation games with lower concurrent player peaks on Steam than the Until Dawn remake are Concord (697 players) and Sackboy: A Big Adventure (610 players).
Until Dawn currently also has a Mixed user review score aggregate on Steam, with 33 percent of the 560 user ratings it has received at the time of writing being negative. Criticism has been directed at the remake’s price, technical issues, mandatory PSN requirement, and more.
In our review of the remake, we awarded it a sore of 8/10, saying, “Though it’s hard not to see the validity of criticisms over its pricing and and questions over whether it even needed to be made, the Until Dawn remake is ultimately a solid and enhanced new version of a modern horror classic.” Read the full review through here.
Until Dawn is available on PS5 and PC.
