It's so popular! "Metal Equipment 3RE" far less than "Phantom Pain"

　　"Metal Equipment 3: Remake" has been officially released. Although the game has received a lot of praise from the media and players, its commercial performance seems to have not met expectations. The number of players is still far behind the previous work "Metal Equipment 5: Phantom Pain".

According to Steam db data, the number of Steam online players on the day of the release of this game reached 19,634. Although many people expect the game to reach a peak of online players on the weekend, this did not happen in "Metal Equipment 3: Remake". In comparison, "Metal Gear 5: Phantom Pain" reached a peak of 91,195 players online at the same time shortly after its release, and the gap was quite obvious.

In addition, according to data from websites such as PlayTracker, Gamalytic and VG Insights, as of August 31, the sales of "Metal Equipment 3: Remake" on the Steam platform were about 218,000 copies. Even considering the situation mentioned by the publisher that "PC sales may account for half of 3A games sales", it will take some time before the game exceeds the million-dollar sales mark.
