Halo Infinite has lost 98% of its player count on Steam, a potential indicator that the high-profile console exclusive is struggling to retain an audience.

Halo Infinite's average daily peak of players on Steam is now around 2% of its all-time record, according to Steamcharts. These two numbers, around 6,000 and 256,000 respectively, demonstrate how Halo Infinite has struggled to maintain an audience on Steam. This observation was first posted on the Steam subreddit, where it was quickly upvoted and reposted online.

Given that Halo is traditionally associated with Xbox, it's important to remember that these numbers are specific to Steam, and not the PC platform in general. Halo Infinite has a separate digital version of PC that isn't tied to Steam, and we don't know the numbers on Xbox either. It's also worth noting that Game Pass users aren't included in these figures. Still, this is an indicator that Halo Infinite isn't retaining players in the way that many successful shooters do, such as Call of Duty, PUBG, or Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which are all in Steamchart's top 10.
