Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Steam Player Count Dips Below 1,000

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's player count is falling on Steam, going as low as 916 earlier this week. This comes exactly two weeks since its all-time peak of 13,459 players online at once, whereas the game now averages a player count of around 2,000, regularly dipping below 1,000.

Taking the 24-hour player peak of 2,007 into account, this is a drop off of around 85 percent in just two weeks.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League got off to a rough start even before it launched. While it attracted a lot of hype when it was revealed, many were disappointed to see that it's full of live service elements, like microtransactions and seasonal-based events.

When it launched, players could access the game three days early by purchasing the $100 Deluxe Edition. A day of this early access period was lost when the game had to be taken offline due to a bug that presented players with fully completed story modes, despite them never launching the game before. Anyone affected by this was given $20 worth of the in-game currency to use, at least, which comes to 2,000 LuthorCoins.

Rocksteady will likely be hoping that the first season brings back some
