The success became apparent shortly after the release, but now Enshrouded figures are circulating that are truly impressive: 1 million players, as Keen Games posts on X, once Twitter.
And on Sunday, January 28, 2024, they built and fought according to steamdb at the same time more than 160,000 players through the world of Embervale. The title is experiencing a sustained positive trend, which underpins the great launch for the makers.
Enshrouded’s numbers are constantly growing
As we also reported, Enshrouded was able to employ around 70,000 players at the same time on the first evening, when the entire range of players was able to press start.
And the graphic above shows you the clearly visible increase in the number of players, slowly but steadily, day after day since then. Not surprisingly, the peak is usually reached in the early evening.
But the upswing seems to be over: Yes, the graphic shows that the curve will flatten out on Monday, January 29th, before finally falling again at night according to Europe time. There will probably be around 30,000 to 40,000 people missing compared to Sunday.
However, only next weekend will provide a real benchmark to see how the number of players develops in the medium term. Experience has shown that gaming consumption by the diverse player base is still visibly different during the week than on weekends or public holidays.
The reviews on Steam Meanwhile, show their friendly side: 84 percent of more than 13,000 reviews are positive.

Enshrouded – Test video for the survival game in Early Access
You can find plenty more content about Enshrouded directly below. Aside from our test, for example, there is a comprehensive beginner’s guide waiting for you.
And colleague Nils can get excited about a detail that is usually ignored: how big (small) the download actually is in relation to the chunk of data on the disk afterwards that the .exe file loads into the main memory when required ?
Enshrouded will probably never manage to knock Palworld off the survival throne in terms of player numbers – it’s in a different league – but the rapid launch of the latest product from the developers at Keen Games is still impressive. Successes of this kind are certainly good for the entire industry in Europey – especially after the apparent closure of Piranha Bytes.
