rimworld Renaissance: Sci-Fi colony Sim Shatters Steam Records Following Major Update and Expansion Launch
Who would have thought that a space colony simulation game released in 2018 would experience such a dramatic resurgence? Rimworld, developed by Ludaon Studios, is currently enjoying a renaissance, achieving a concurrent player record of over 94,000 on Steam. This surge in popularity is largely attributed to the release of its 1.6 update and the highly anticipated “odyssey” expansion, propelling the game back into the ranks of Steam’s top bestsellers.
For several days, Rimworld has consistently held a position on Steam’s podium for global top sellers, currently outranked only by PUBG and Counter-Strike 2. notably, the “Odyssey” DLC itself is listed separately in the ranking of games with the highest revenue, securing the fifth spot. This indicates a significant commercial success for the expansion.
The launch of the “Odyssey” expansion appears to be the primary catalyst for the renewed interest in Rimworld, a game already lauded for its exceptionally high average rating of 97% on Steam. The expansion, priced at PLN 98, is also receiving overwhelmingly positive user reception, with an average rating of 95%. Early indications suggest that “Odyssey” is poised to remain a top seller on Steam for an extended period.
A teaser for the Rimworld: odyssey expansion is available,which requires the base game for play. The game’s soundtrack is also recommended for its relaxing qualities.
