Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake launched yesterday for PC and consoles, and got off to a fairly solid start, seeing a peak of over 14,000 concurrent players on Steam.
On its second day, however, the game has continued to see higher engagement, painting a brighter picture for how it seems to have performed at launch.
As per SteamDB, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake has now seen a peak of 37,273 concurrent players on Steam. For context, that’s a higher peak than the likes of Persona 5 Royal (35,474),Persona 4 Golden (29,984),Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin (34,995), Final Fantasy 15 (29,498), andFinal Fantasy 16 (27,508).
With the weekend coming up, there’s a good chance that Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake continues to see its numbers climb over the coming days.
Whether its PC performance is indicative of how it’s doing in other platforms remains to be seen, though one would presume it’ll be selling primarily on the Nintendo Switch, especially in Japan, which is historically Dragon Quest’s biggest market.
