Lost Ark statistics according to Steam Charts
About the game
Just over an hour after its official deployment in Europe and America, Lost Ark once again offered incredible statistics with a total of approximately 984,000 players connected simultaneously around 5PM (Los Angeles time) this Saturday, February 12th. This almost doubles the simultaneous connections that followed the launch of the early access, few days earlier!
Few hours later, 1,325,000 players were connected simultaneously, placing the game among the two with the highest peak of players connected at the same time in the history of Steam, still far behind PUBG!
For comparison, New World recorded its highest peak with nearly 914,000 simultaneous players on Thursday, September 30th, few days after its launch. Data rather close therefore on the side of the number of players at launch, and for good reason, the two games are in the Top 5 of the most played in the history of Steam.
Here are the top 10 games with the highest player spikes in Steam history:

On Twitch
On the Twitch side, stats indicate that the peak viewership seen at the launch of Early Access hasn't been beaten. It amounted to nearly 1.3 million viewers, against "only" around 1 million around 2PM (PT) this Friday, February 11th.
This high viewing rate is mainly explained by the delay of 6 hours in the deployment of the Free To Play version of the game ; players and future players then took refuge with their favorite streamer, hoping to get some information about the situation, information that they obviously did not have!
It is thanks to this delay in the launch of Lost Ark that many have seen their statistics increase considerably, with a peak of more than 428,000 viewers on the Asmongold channel in particular! A feat explained in particular because he was one of the few streamers to have Tier 3 Drops for the Legends of the Lost Ark event at that moment, prompting many Archaeians to "farm" said Drop at home by watching it. 4 hours during.
Mokoko seeds are one of the most important collectables in Lost Ark and here's how you can get all of them easily.
