‘Payday 2’, which is being sold at 1,050 won at a 90% discount to celebrate the Steam Summer Sale, ranked 17th on the Steam Daily Highest Simultaneous User Ranking. In addition to the main part discount, it seems that the discount on the DLC package, which shows a discount rate of up to 84%, was added.

As of 10 a.m. on July 6, Payday 2 achieved the highest number of concurrent users on Steam with 60,785 Steam users, ranking 17th. It is the first time since November last year that Payday 2 showed more than 60,000 concurrent users. One of the factors that affected the number of visitors at the time was the return of existing users through an update to Payday’s unique level system ‘Notoriety’. looks like

Payday 2 is a four-player co-op action FPS released in August 2013. The player becomes a ‘robber’ and completes the mission alone or with party members and plays faithfully to the basic goal of stealing a lot of money. In the process, they infiltrate the destination and quietly come out with money, or encounter noisy situations where they use explosives or firearms.

Payday 2 has shown a stable number of users, ranging from 30,000 to 40,000, even though it has not been in the TOP 20 so far. The reason for this retention of users was continuous updates and extensive DLC support. In addition, continuous follow-up support until now, 9 years following its release, seems to have played a part. It seems that the key to the ranking will be how the heyday that was greeted by the discount added to this will be maintained.
