Battle royale breakout, Hunter’s Arena, has topped 300,000 active daily users thanks in part to PS Plus.
Korean developer Mantisco announced that North American servers have exceeded 160,000 peak daily active users, with EU and Asia servers hitting 100,000.
These reported figures come just days after Hunter’s Arena: Legends hit version 1.0 on Steam. The game is currently being featured as August’s headline PlayStation Plus freebie. Given how many players subscribe to Sony’s online gaming service, it’s likely that many of players are PS5 and PS4 owners taking the battle royale game for a spin.
Is Hunter’s Arena Legends worth playing?
Pleased with game’s performance, Mantisco have already announced that more content is on the way. Expect new playable Legends, maps, and skins, as well as a cross-invite feature, allowing you to party up with other players, regardless of platform.
“We’re focusing on server stabilization as the amount of active users rises higher each day,” says Mantisco’s David Yoon. “It seems like our efforts of creating a one-of-a-kind combat system and listening to our players’ feedback during Early Access paid off. We will continue to improve the experience of Hunter’s Arena: Legends.”
Hunter’s Arena: Legends update 1.05 dropped earlier this week. Aside from a fresh wave of bug fixes and hero balancing, it introduced Season 1:
