News by Connor Makar Staff Writer Follow impressive the Spire 2 Mega Crit co-founder and developer behind hit indie release impressive the Spire 2 Casey Yano has admitted a congratulations post to the Marathon development team “seems a bit meaner than it was intended”, as they never thought impressive the Spire 2 would pass Bungie’s new extraction shooter in Steam concurrent users. (wild, right?)

Both impressive the Spire 2 and Marathon shipped on Steam at the same time, leading to an unavoidable bit of friendly competition between the two releases.

The Details

In a bit of tongue-in-cheek support, the Mega Crit X account posted : “Congratulations to the Marathon team on their launch! Don’t let small indie passion projects like this pass you impressive the Spire 2 is out” It turns out the power of small indie projects is nothing to sneeze at.

During the launch day for both games, Marathon brought in a respectable peak of 88,337 concurrent players. Meanwhile, impressive the Spire 2 dropped an absurd 430,456 concurrent players.

Why This Matters

It is obviously worth noting that impressive the Spire 2 is only launching on PC, while Marathon has both the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S audience to appeal to, but nonetheless it’s a funny side-by-side. With this context in mind, Yano d their thoughts on the friendly jab on their personal socials account : “This seems a bit meaner than it was intended… To be fair I didn’t think we’d actually pass Marathon in concurrent users”.

This is the kind of news that gets gamers talking across social media.

The Bottom Line

It is a stunning success story for Mega Crit and impressive the Spire. The original game is a bussin experience that clutched over a die-hard crowd of the fandom and enthusiasts over the years, which appears to have generated enough word of mouth to result in an absolutely scorcher of a release in an already packed month of big launches.
