There seems to be no possible comeback for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, whose number of active users decreases every day
They created it with the intention of it becoming one of those games as a service capable of living for ten years, but the history of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League seems about to end when not even three months have passed since its launch. The video game has hit rock bottom if we trust the Steam trackers, recording its historical minimum of simultaneous users. On Thursday, April 25 at 12:10 Spanish peninsular time, only 92 people were playing. Console players should be added to these, but it does not seem risky to predict that the figure would still not be what would be expected from a game with a million-dollar budget.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is ‘critical’
Although it is normal for games to lose users as time progresses since their release, the main objective of “as a service” is to avoid this phenomenon. These types of titles are based on keep users hooked for months or years, so they continue to play daily and interact with the monetization systems every so often. It would be dramatic if a game as a service loses 99% of its users in a year, but the life of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has not even lasted a quarter. In this time, in addition, it has already been carried out a first major update that aimed to ‘resurrect’ interest for the title. In this sense, it does not seem that there are any tricks left up our sleeves.
The figures recorded by Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League are being much worse than those harvested by Marvel’s Avengers at the time. In fact and as well they point out from Windows Centrala medium that noticed this historical low for the Rocksteady game thanks to data from SteamDBthere have been times in recent days when the aforementioned Marvel’s Avengers (which has not been supported since September 30, 2023) has had more simultaneous players. The situation is dramatic and there seems to be no turning back. Despite this, developers still talk about add new content in the future.
Although many fans were already frowning upon knowing that Rocksteady I would work on a game as a service, the truth is that It was difficult to expect a failure of these proportions. Disappointment, furthermore, comes with a thought that is difficult to digest: that of opportunity cost. This Suicide Squad version has left us without the IP game that we deserved and also without receiving a Rocksteady title that we had been waiting for for a long time.
