Sons Of The Forest is now the third most-played multi-player horror-cannibal game. It’s launch was said to have crashed Steam.
Sons Of The Forest is now the third most-played game on Steam with 265,000 concurrent players. The game which was recently released was so popular and hot in demand that it was said to have crashed Steam.
Sons Of The Forest was initially set to be launched this evening at 5 pm GMT, but it ended up going a little later than that. Its launch instead coincided with a rare period of Steam downtime. You can see the spike in reported outages at Downdetector. 265,000 people trying to download and start playing a new game at the same time, might have been enough to see even Valve’s servers fall down.
Sons Of The Forest is a first-person survival and adventure game and a sequel to The Forest. Like its predecessor, it’s about surviving in a jungle environment. It can be played with the help of friends, while cannibals try to eat you up.
The game was also initially intended to launch this year as a complete game but instead has followed in its predecessors footsteps as an Early Access release.
