The survival game ‘Raft’, which runs on an upward slope, has surpassed the barrier of 100,000 concurrent users, which is considered the standard for a steam mega hit.
Previously, with the official launch on the 21st, Raft showed off its prominence by recording the highest number of concurrent users on Steam with 66,581.

Raft is a marine survival game that depicts the process of surviving a small raft floating in the sea. The player must collect the garbage floating in the ocean currents to reinforce the raft and obtain the supplies necessary for survival.
Using a novel concept as a weapon, the Raft was released in Early Access in May 2018 and gradually became known by word of mouth. Since then, it has maintained a good rating as ‘very positive (93%)’ on Steam, and recently, with the official release, it has emerged as a prominent player in the global sales rankings on Steam. In the world’s best-selling rankings, it was ranked 2nd on the 21st, followed by 1st place on the 27th, demonstrating its potential.
In addition, Lost Ark’s breakthrough stands out in the Top 20 concurrent users on Steam. Lost Ark recorded 384,754 players on the 27th, overtaking Apex Legends once more.
On Steam’s worldwide sales rankings, the new Monster Hunter Rise expansion pack ‘Sunbreak’, which will be released on the 30th, ranked second amid the flood of summer sales. Other than this, Sea of Thieves, which is discounted by 50%, ranked 6th, and The Forest, which received a 75% discount, ranked 9th.
