Setting: Fantasy | Developer: Sandbox Interactive | Platform: PC, Mobile | Release Date: July 17, 2017 | Model: Free2Play | Steam Rating: 78 % Positive | Active Players: 7,451
How many players does it have on Steam? In the past 30 days, an average of 7,451 players were online simultaneously. The peak during this period was 11,673 concurrent players. The all-time high stands at 27,208 concurrent players. Albion Online has its own Windows client and is also available via the App Store and Google Play.
What kind of game is this? The online role-playing game from Germany aims to offer you a giant world where you can go your own way, whether as a resource gatherer, crafter, or warrior.
The focus is on PvP combat, but PvE is also increasingly being offered. Albion Online uses an interesting system where your equipment determines what role you take in-game. With sword and armor, you are a fighter; with a pickaxe, you mine resources.
Since the switch to Free2Play in April 2019 and the provision of additional servers, player numbers have noticeably increased. Several player records were the result. In 2023, nine times as many players played as at the release of Albion Online.
In April 2024, servers were also set up for Europe and the MENA region (the Middle East and North Africa) for the first time. This improves connection speeds and latency.
For whom is this interesting? Albion Online is an MMORPG for everyone who wants to feel transported back to the time of Ultima Online. You can be attacked by other players almost anywhere in the world, making it an adventure to mine resources.
But it’s also possible to make something of yourself as a blacksmith in the world. Albion Online simply offers many possibilities and constantly receives new content: German MMORPG on Steam receives major rogue update, lets you smuggle goods and rescue agents
