Torchlight: Infinite Enjoying Big Player Count Boost
Free-to-play RPG Torchlight: Infinite has recently seen a major spike in its player count, thanks to the release of its newest season and anniversary rewards. The long-running Torchlight franchise has seen multiple entries from several different developers, taking a similar top-down action RPG approach to games like Diablo 4 and Last Epoch. The launch of Torchlight: Infinite would even see the franchise shift into a fully free-to-play model to entice more players. Now, the most recent Torchlight is seeing a major jump in its player count.
First fully released in May 2023, Torchlight: Infinite broke new ground with its launch as the first game in the franchise to be available Day 1 on mobile devices. The game would feature several departures from past entries in the franchise, bringing in a new developer with Chinese game studio XD Inc. heading Torchlight: Infinite. Infinite would largely see mixed reviews following its release, with many calling its gameplay loop «repetitive» and criticizing the game's perks system. Now, however, Torchlight: Infinite is experiencing a resurgence with the game's first anniversary.
As reported by PCGamesN, Torchlight: Infinite has recently seen a major increase in its player count on Steam. Popular aggregation website SteamDB showcases a colossal jump in the game's player count, boasting over 10,000 players at its peak within the last 24 hours. The spike is largely credited to the debut of Torchlight: Infinite's newest season, «Whispering Mist,» which added more story content and a new Hero in Cateye Erika. Torchlight: Infinite saw its all-time peak in October 2022, with over 20,000 players following the release of the game's open beta.
Torchlight: Infinite's newfound success comes alongside a plethora of rewards coming for players as part of the game's first anniversary. Infinite is featuring a login campaign during the anniversary celebration, with daily rewards granting Jagged Primocrysts and Appearance Boon Coupons for Torchlight:
