Relic’s strategy game: Age of Empires IV is among the most played games on the Valve platform.

Age of Empires IV arrived on October 28 on PC, and now it is a success with the public. The latest instalment in the legendary real-time strategy franchise has been an event after more than 15 years since its last game. Although the game has promised to think about a possible launch for Xbox, for the moment, the game has only reached PC, its favourite platform, and it has done it in style, with historical figures.

Relic’s game has surpassed the best figures in the franchise in its first days of release. So far, the return of the classic Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition has achieved a record of more than 35 thousand simultaneous players. However, Age of Empires IV has managed to reach almost 70 thousand concurrent players, according to SteamDB at writing this article.

The medieval strategy game has remained for hours above titles such as Rainbow Six: Siege, Destiny 2 and Rocket League, games that do not usually leave the highest numbers of simultaneous players, and is currently in the Top 15 of the most played on the web and ranks highest in trends.

These data are even more impressive when we think that Age of Empires IV, being a Microsoft game, is included in the catalogue of its subscription service, Xbox Game Pass, from the day of launch. We can only be happy for the excellent reception that Age of Empires IV is having, a game that is one of the best if you like real-time strategy and the Middle Ages.
