After taking its internally-developer MMORPG New World to the top of the Steam charts last year, Amazon Games intends to expand its online RPG portfolio by publishing the Western release of Lost Ark. Originally released in South Korea in 2019, Lost Ark has been picking up plenty of pre-release hype, but on day one it’s already orders of magnitude bigger than we could’ve expected.

Lost Ark has already reached a concurrent player peak of 532,476, as SteamDB shows. That makes it the second-biggest game on Steam right now, just behind Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and the sixth-biggest Steam Game of all time, just behind Amazon’s own New World.

The most impressive bit about that number is that Lost Ark isn’t even free yet. Currently, you can only get in by purchasing a Founder’s Pack, starting at $14.99 / £13.20 / €14.99. The full free-to-play release won’t land until this Friday, February 11, so that player count is sure to get even bigger from here.

Lost Ark has been similarly big on Twitch, reaching a massive 1.2 million viewers at its peak. That number’s aided somewhat by a Twitch Drops program, but it’s an impressive showing regardless.

Cyberpunk Dying Light 2: How to Get Cyber Hands 2177 Blueprint

One of the many Easter Eggs that players can find in Dying Light 2 is the blueprint of the Cyber Hands 2177 weapon. The Cyber Hands 2177 weapon is an Easter Egg of Cyberpunk 2077's Mantis Blades, and in Dying Light 2, the Cyber Hands are classified as a common knuckleduster weapon. This means that no modifications can be added to the Cyber Hands, and, unfortunately, they have low durability. The Cyber Hands 2177 deal 50 slashing damage, and have an electric damage buff as well in Dying Light 2.
