Lethal Company is not giving up its spot on the Steam chart
I think it’s safe to say we’re all pretty much aware of Lethal Company by now, even if you haven’t played it. The indie co-op horror game seemed to come from nowhere, yet it’s still dominating the charts on Steam, besting some AAA releases.
The game just keeps smashing its own player record, and for yet another week, it retains its position as the top-selling release on Steam. The chart shows it’s still at the number two spot, second only to the Steam Deck. This means Lethal Company is technically the number one game on the platform.
It also just keeps going from strength to strength. According to the latest data from SteamDB, the popularity is just increasing, with the game recently hitting yet another concurrent player milestone, peaking at 240,817 just a few days ago.
It’s unlikely that many people are expecting Lethal Company to keep dominating. We all saw what happened with Sons of the Forest, but it’s still mightily impressive to see an indie studio thrive in the cutthroat world of the video game industry.
If you still haven’t played it (still guilty), here’s what you’re missing out on:
You are a contracted worker for the Company. Your job is to collect scrap from abandoned, industrialized moons to meet the Company’s profit quota. You can use the cash you earn to travel to new moons with higher risks and rewards–or you can buy fancy suits and decorations for your ship. Experience nature, scanning any creature you find to add them to your bestiary. Explore the wondrous outdoors and rummage through their derelict, steel and concrete underbellies. Just never miss the quota.
Sounds pretty neat, yeah?
