It appears the game had trouble drawing players’ attention.
Keeper, from the creators of Psychonauts, launched recently and earned “Very Positive” reviews on Steam.
However, the title had a weak debut on Valve’s platform — Keeper’s peak concurrent player count topped out at just 165. This ranks among the studio’s lowest Steam peaks; only the VR release Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin recorded fewer players, with 100. See the figures.
The underwhelming start comes amid a wave of studio closures and layoffs at Microsoft, so users like bezdar’ 無能 are expressing concern about Double Fine Productions’ future:
“Just a standard walking simulator with lovely visuals and a touch of psychedelia. With such poor online numbers I’m a bit worried for Double Fine — I hope Microsoft doesn’t shut them down.”
