The Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics game has been unable to maintain its player base since September. 1,190 concurrent players.
Marvel’s Avengers is going through its worst moment on PC since its launch last September. According to data provided by GitHyp, the ambitious Square Enix video game developed by Crystal Dynamics has registered a loss of 96% of its active concurrent players on PC (via Steam) since its premiere, a panorama that translates into an average of 1,190 players per year. day.
Although the figures only look at the performance of the title on Steam, they reflect negative symptoms for one of the titles with the most budget support this year. When asked about approximate total sales, Square Enix has declined to offer details and rule out a possible price drop for the game on the Valve portal; currently at a retail price of 59.99 euros.

Square Enix registers millionaire losses after the arrival of Marvel’s Avengers
Square Enix’s financial situation during the semester between April and September reflects a negative balance of more than 52 million euros at the exchange rate. It is in this period when works such as Final Fantasy VII Remake or the now protagonist, Marvel’s Avengers, came to the stores, which had a greater budget support behind and, therefore, a greater dependence on direct sales.
Estimates by analyst groups estimate that Marvel’s Avengers had a budget of more than 143 million euros, but that it has sold about 3 million games to date, which is well below expectations, around 60% below what is desired.
To make matters worse, the version for the new generation has been delayed to 2021, so the incentive to buy the title this Christmas with an eventual next gen version will be requested until we change the calendar. Despite measures such as a reduction in the price of DLCs, mostly cosmetic in nature, the situation does not seem to improve for this ambitious project.
Marvel’s Avengers is available for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia.
