The 343 Industries shooter exclusive to PC and Xbox consoles is at its worst on the Valve platform with a considerable drop in players compared to its premiere.

    Sure but Online dropped first for free so people were happy to pick it up on Steam

    The campaign release was later and was included within GamePass so people made the switch then, in fact there was a large drop in Steam numbers the month after the release of Campaign likely due to people swapping over to GamePass

    I’m not denying a loss in player count across all services, that absolutely has happened (and to a degree is expected to happen no game maintains the peak players) i’m saying that Steam metrics are very poor for tracking Microsoft releases

    Sea of thieves has lost around 66% of average players compared to 2020 on Steam despite the fact it actually has a much larger active player count now (Though of course less than the 2021 peak)
