Evolve was released yesterday as Evolve: Stage 2 free to play and the audience has welcomed this very positively. Therefore, the player numbers exploded virtually overnight by over 9,000 percent!
Evolve, the monster hunting MMO, was actually as good as dead and according to Steam statistics, on average barely 200 hardcore monster fans played the game with hunters and hunted. But then yesterday the free2play version of Evolve – Evolve: Stage 2 – came and suddenly thousands of curious players flooded the servers and took on the roles of hunters and monsters.

Therefore, there were only a few hundred players present yesterday at 7:00 PM, but already by 10:00 PM – that’s how long the download took for most players – there were over 10,000. Today, on Friday, July 8th, this number has doubled again and at the time of this news, already 23,000 players were simultaneously in the jungles of Evolve to hunt monsters or become the beast themselves. From about 200 players to 23,000 – that corresponds to an epic increase of over 9,000 percent!
This drastic number means that Evolve has indeed interested many players, but many simply did not want to buy it. However, it may also involve numerous returnees who were not interested before and want to take a look again now. By the way, we have also dedicated today’s section “Mein-MMO fragt” to the topic of Evolve. Do you give Evolve a second chance as a F2P title?
Are you surprised by the sudden success of Evolve? Or do you think it’s all just a flash in the pan that is quickly flaring up, but will soon extinguish? Let us know your opinion and write it in the comments! For my part, I will definitely check out Evolve now and choose a big, nasty monster, maybe we will meet in the jungle!
