Lost Ark easily surpassed 1 million concurrent players after just 24 hours, making it the second most played game in Steam history. The Diablo-like MMO finally launched in the West after Amazon Games and Smilegate RPG teamed up to localize and translate it and make it available in English. It has now surpassed the simultaneous record of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Dota 2, both of which have consistently topped Steam's most popular games list.

Because Lost Ark is so popular, it ran into server issues and needed a queue to start playing. SteamDB lists Lost Ark's concurrent player count at 1,311,842, beating CS:GO's 1,308,963 and Dota 2's records of 1,295,114 players. However, we don't yet know if any of these players are actually playing the game seriously or just lining up in the server queue.

But either way. It's both currently second on the top concurrency list after PUGB. There's still a long way to go if you want to beat PUBG's all-time peak of 3,257,248 players. Lost Ark is Amazon Games' second hit game, following New World, which set a concurrent record of 913,634 players four months ago.

Originally released in South Korea in 2019, Lost Ark has since amassed millions of active players on https://www.mmowts.com/lost-ark-gold servers in Russia and Japan. It's a free-to-play game, and it also overtook the popular Just Chatting category to quickly rise to the top of Twitch's charts.

If you're looking for something new, you can try Lost Ark.
