Originally released in December 2019, the MMO is co-developed by Tripod Studio and Smilegate’s subsidiary studio, Smilegate RPG, with Amazon Game Studios as the publisher. Initially, Lost Ark arrived in South Korea and only recently made its way to the US and Europe on February 11, 2022.

While posting the numbers on Twitter, Benji wrote that Lost Ark reached the fifth spot in the list of best Steam titles of all time. In terms of peak concurrent player count, it joins the likes of PUBG (3.257 million), CSGO (1.308 million), Dota 2 (1.295 million), and Cyberpunk 2077 (1.05 million).

Lost Ark amassed 984,111 concurrent players, according to the Steam Database.

Coming to the free-to-play MMO, it makes players enter a vast, vibrant world with loads of new areas to explore. They must try to find lost treasures and go through tough challenges while also engaging in intense combat-filled sequences.

Those who enjoy playing Lost Ark agree that it’s a great MMO and has the potential to even go past the mark of 1 million concurrent players in the future. Some of the users even think that Amazon can beat giants like Microsoft by delivering hits such as New World, and now LA.

On Twitter, most of the fans reacted with similar thoughts, praising the online multiplayer.
