‘Marvel’s Avengers’ might have found an audience after busy free weekend
Marvel’s Avengers had a free trial weekend on Steam, PlayStation, and Stadia, and it proved to be a massive success in attracting new players.As originally spotted by TheGamer, the free play event on Steam set a 24-hour peak of 10,161 players when the game usually averages only a few hundred concurrent users at a time.While that player peak doesn’t hit the heights of its launch period which achieved nearly 32,000 Steam players last September, it’s a big increase for a game that’s previously been struggling to garner players.The reason behind it? Part of it may be due to the recent announcement that the Black Panther War For Wakanda expansion is out on August 17.
