Call of Duty challenger Battle Bit Remastered becomes the top selling game on Steam
Battle Bit Remastered, an online FPS game developed by a team of just three indie developers, became the number-one-selling game globally on Steam.
Entering a loaded field of FPS titles usually proves to be unforgiving for smaller titles. Plenty of indie battle royale games came and went, and traditional multiplayer experiences such asSplitgateand Rogue Company fizzled out as well.
However, that hasn’t stopped developers from creating new projects. Ubisoft is by no means a small team, butXDefiantis a new free-to-play FPS game coming later this summer. Competing with industry giants such as Call of Duty and Apex Legends is no easy task.
Battle Bit Remastered hasn’t quite reached those peaks, but the unique FPS has shown plenty of promise in its first few weeks.
Battle Bit Remastered takes FPS community by storm
Warzone fans celebrated the battle royale expanding to 150 players. And Battlefield 2042 went from 32v32 matches to 64v64. Battle Bit Remastered goes one step further than both, supporting 254-player servers.
That many players on one battlefield results in absolute chaos, serving as a massive draw for FPS community members to try the game out.
According toStream Charts, Battle Bit reached a peak player count of over 31,000 players, averaging 24,940.
The Battle Bit development team responded to the remarkable achievement: “Thanks for making us the #1 Selling Game Globally on Steam; this is unbelievable.”
