'Arkham Knight' Surpasses 'Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League' in Steam Player Count

Published February 11, 2024

In a surprising turn of events within the gaming community, it appears that an older title within the Batman Arkham series has gained renewed popularity, overshadowing a much newer release. Recent reports have indicated that 'Batman: Arkham Knight', the finale to the critically acclaimed Arkham trilogy, has experienced a significant increase in player numbers on the Steam platform following the launch of the anticipated 'Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League' game.

Resurgence in Popularity

The spotlight has returned to 'Arkham Knight', released in 2015, which has seen a resurgence in its player base by approximately 50% around the time 'Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League' was launched. This increase is attributed to heightened interest in the legacy of the Arkham series, prompted by the release of the newer game. Despite being an older offering, 'Arkham Knight' has managed to captivate a sizable cohort of players, something that is relatively rare for games that have been out for an extended period of time.

Comparative Player Statistics

While 'Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League' was anticipated to dominate gaming sessions upon its release, it appears to have had the unintended effect of boosting its spiritual predecessor instead. Comparative player statistics show that 'Arkham Knight' is not only drawing more players, but maintaining their interest, suggesting that the game's quality, along with nostalgia and a well-crafted narrative, has granted it enduring appeal and a loyal fanbase that continues to engage with the game years after its initial release.
