Overview

  • 1047 Games issued a statement pushing back on fixation with Steam concurrency, calling it a single-platform snapshot and reaffirming commitment to Splitgate: Arena Reloaded.
  • Since the December 17 relaunch, Steam peak concurrents sat just under about 2,300, with recent counts not breaking 1,000 and outlets noting figures like 952, 785, and 720.
  • Public data covers Steam only, leaving performance on PlayStation and Xbox unclear.
  • The team flagged new content and engagement efforts, including the Arena Royale mode, a $5,000 creator tournament, a $25,000 community challenge, and a welcome-back event offering the T200 skin.
  • Coverage underscores the contrast with prior highs for the series and a rocky 2025 marked by microtransaction backlash, a Summer Game Fest hat controversy, layoffs, and a rollback to beta.
