In the last days PlayStation again bet on launching another exclusive PS5 IP: Returnal. The rogue-like video game developed by Housemarque (Resogun) opted for a new opportunity in computers, although it seems that it has not been in the best way.
According to a SteamDB report, a page where the peak of players for different video games can be seen in real time, Returnal is considered among the worst releases that PlayStation Studios has had on PC, surpassing only Sackboy: A Big Adventure.
According to the portal, Returnal currently has a peak of 6000 playerswhile Sackboy is left behind only with 600 users. In both cases, these titles are nowhere near the good numbers that other games like God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Spider-Man And till Days Gone.

Why would Returnal have failed in its premiere?
The reasons would go to the side that the Housemarque video game is not as commercial as God of War can be, with Kratos being a very recognized figure, or in the case of Horizon Zero Dawn, which enchanted with its first installment to continue exploiting. the universe under other titles. From Spider-Man, I think the name is enough to pull enough.
Even so, we cannot deny that beyond Returnal, other titles have also failed to capture the attention of PC players, as was the case with ‘Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection’, which during its premiere had a peak of 10,851. Similar case had Spider-Man: Miles Morales with a pick 13, 539.
