Paladins was already a hit on Steam – Are consoles catching up?
Paladins arrived on Steam in September 2016 and quickly became a huge success on PC. On Playstation 4 and Xbox One, the MOBA shooter seems to be building on this success now. Todd Harris is the CEO of Hi-Rez Studios and gave a positive assessment of Paladins on Reddit.
Here, he announced that the team shooter currently has 11 million players and that the number “continues to rise rapidly.” Of these, there are currently 9 million PC players and 2 million on PS4 or Xbox One. These numbers do not yet include Chinese players.
The many players help Paladins continue to grow
According to Harris, the success of Paladins has contributed to further developing Paladins on a large scale. In 2017 there were:
- A new update every 2 weeks
- 6 new champions (Torvald, Maeve, Inara, Lex, Seris, Willo)
- 2 new maps (Stone Keep & Brightmarsh)
- Alternative game modes (PvE, Survival)
Paladins follows the “free-to-play” model and is available for free download on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. This makes Paladins the first shooter to be offered for free on consoles.
Todd Harris provided insight into the next six months in Paladins in his Reddit post. Updates will be released faster on PS4 and Xbox One in the future. Additionally, the focus will be heavily on bug fixes, lore, and gameplay improvements.
