Evil Dead: The Dead Game

It’s always disappointing to see support for a multiplayer title end, but it’s not exactly shocking in this case. Even though it doesn’t represent the entire player base, recent numbers for Evil Dead: The Game on may reveal why this decision was馃€� made. At the time this post was made only three players were In-Game via Steam, with a 馃惣24-hour peak of 30. Even the all-time peak from five months ago of 586 is hardly considered a lot of players.

For me personally, I just never got around to giving it a try. I remember it being revealed during The Game Awards back in 2020, and wanting to check it out. But once it came out I was busy with other titles, and just never got around to jumping in. Also, the fact that it was originally an Epic exclusive probably didn’t help. Even though I hate the Epic vs. Steam exclusive war, I don’t mind booting up one or the other to play a specific game. I don’t love it, but I don’t mind it either. But, for some, I know that can be a dealbreaker. It’s hard to say if this actually had an effect on its success, but I’m willing to bet it didn’t help.

Those who want to still check it out can play Evil Dead: The Game on PC, Play馃嵎Station 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
