Alright, so, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide—yeah, that crazy game set in the Warhammer 40k universe. It just got this huge update called “Battle for Tertium” and wow, did the players come crawling back. Like, seriously, it jumped from 10,000 to 43,000 players. No kidding. The update dropped on June 23, and that’s when things peaked. Numbers are dipping again, but hey, way better than last year’s sad average.
Fatshark, the brains behind Darktide, didn’t exactly have the smoothest launch. Sure, folks loved the vibes and visuals, but oh boy, the technical glitches and missing stuff? Not so much. But, fast forward, they’ve been rolling out patches like a bakery on a Sunday morning. New missions, weapons—you name it. Slowly but surely, they’re winning the community back. Nice comeback story, right?
Speaking of which, that June 23 patch? Yeah, it’s something else. Players skyrocketed to 43,000 in a day, according to SteamDB (or whatever that site with numbers is called). Just before, it was all crickets and tumbleweeds at around 5,000 to 10,000. And now? One of the biggest spikes since like, 2.6 years ago when it hit 108,395. Crazy times.
And not to go all nostalgic, but back on March 25, there was another update. Introduced Mortis Trials and some time-limited events—stuff like that. Player count hit nearly 12,000 then, which was… okay, I guess. But nothing compared to this new record spike. Currently, the game’s chilling at around 25,000 players, give or take. Numbers are wobbly, but they’re hanging in there between 20,000 and 40,000. The new class, Arbites? Yeah, for $11.99, it’s a steal—or not, depending on who you ask.
The Battle for Tertium update isn’t just about numbers, though. It’s spruced up “the core player experience”—big talk for some solid improvements. A more streamlined campaign, missions that make sense—what a concept! Anyway, players seem happy for now. Time will tell if this update keeps the crowd buzzing or if it’s just a flash in the pan. Guess we’ll see.
And that’s the latest from the world of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. Until the next big thing drops—who knows, maybe Fatshark will surprise us all again.
