Community Spotlight: AoE2 Reaches 200,000 Concurrent Players
Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition hit a new all-time concurrent player record on Steam, surpassing 200,000 players following the DLC announcement.
The DLC announcement drove a massive player surge. Steam charts show 200,847 concurrent players — a new all-time record. New player influx is expected to affect ranked queue times and Elo distribution.
What This Means For You
Ranked queues will be faster at all Elo brackets for the next few weeks. Expect more new players in lower brackets — a good time to grind ranked if you are in the 800–1200 range.
