Throne and Liberty's Strong Launch Garners Massive Player Interest

The new MMO from NCSoft and Amazon Games is attracting hundreds of thousands of players with its innovative gameplay and cross-platform capabilities.

Throne and Liberty, developed by NCSoft and published by Amazon Games, launched on October 1, 2024, and quickly became one of Steam's most played games.
The game features a unique class-free system, allowing players to switch roles by changing weapons, which adds a new level of flexibility to traditional MMO gameplay.
Despite server issues and long queue times at launch, Throne and Liberty reached a peak of 326,377 concurrent players on Steam, indicating strong initial interest.
The game supports cross-platform play between PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, allowing a broad player base to engage together from the start.
Monetization includes both in-game currency and premium currency options, with some concerns about potential 'pay-to-skip' dynamics in the auction house.
