Mortal Shell II Advanced Access Sees 20,000 Concurrent Players Ahead of Launch

Mortal Shell II has already launched into Advanced Access on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series consoles ahead of the official August 20 worldwide launch, and it appears to be quite successful already, with nearly 20,000 players logging into the new open-world action RPG at the same time on Steam alone.

According to SteamDB, within five hours of launch, Mortal Shell II played host to as many as 19,242 peak concurrent players—more than 10 times its predecessor's peak concurrent player count on Steam, as recorded by SteamDB. The game's Advanced Access launch has also given avid gamers a chance to post early reviews of the game, most of which sing its praises, earning it an 88% "Very Positive" review rating on Steam. Accounting for consoles, the day-one advanced access peak concurrent player counts number well over 20,000.
