Babylon’s Fall’s concurrent PC player count dropped to only a single player on Wednesday, 4 May, and to zero this morning, according to SteamCharts.

Two days after the game’s launch on 2 March 2022, the game’s all-time peak concurrent player count on Steam was only 1,166 players.

Since then, player numbers have fallen steadily and had already dropped below ten in Mid-April. Throughout the whole of May, the peak player counts failed even to breach 100 per day.

Babylon’s Fall is one of Square Enix’s newest titles, but due to a lacklustre story and grind-heavy gameplay, it launched to below-average reviews and minimal player interest.

Square Enix hoped to keep players’ attention by releasing regular content updates in the form of Seasons.

Despite Square Enix reassuring players that new game content was in the works only two weeks after Babylon’s Fall’s release, it wasn’t enough to retain or grow the player base.

However, Babylon’s Fall’s development team announced that the game’s continuing service is not in danger and that there are no plans to reduce the title’s scale of development.
