Until Dawn remake isn’t doing so hot

The 2015 horror game, Until Dawn, nabbed itself a remake on the PS5 and PC. Unfortunately, it’s not doing so hot based on Steam numbers. It’s also plagued by technical issues, too.

SteamDB numbers point to a meager 2K players, which is a far cry from Sony’s normal releases to PC, which while the releases are tapering off number-wise, the games are still typically — omitting Concord — releasing to a 10K+. Games like God of War and Ghost of Tsushima reached 73.5K and 77.1K respectively, for example.

It’s worth noting Until Dawn is a bit of a niche release compared to the others, the only games to do worse are Concord and Sackboy: A Big Adventure, both of which failed to even breach a thousand players at its peak.

Technical issues include ray tracing and DLSS simply not working and causing immersion to break and general poor optimization practices. For its part, developer Ballistic Moon has addressed the issues in a Steam post.

In other Until Dawn news, though, the film adaptation has wrapped up filming.
