In less than a week, The Day Before lost 75% of its players on Steam

The Day Before is a multiplayer title that drew attention from both fans and outsiders due to its ambitious proposal; however, the excitement turned into fear due to multiple controversies related to scams, plagiarism, and a sudden disappearance. Its release already made headlines for the wrong reasons.

Although its official release date remains a mystery, the FNTASTIC video game premiered on Steam on December 7th in early access format. Perhaps as expected, the player reception was far from positive.

Upon its release, the online title received a multitude of criticisms. At this moment, 15,580 reviews out of 18,297 available on the Valve platform are negative. Players claim that the game is a scam due to the absence of many MMO elements and the prevalence of technical errors.

The Day Before is in trouble as it loses players at an alarming rate

The controversy took its toll. We say this because The Day Before has already lost a very considerable percentage of its player base since its early release earlier this week. The outlook looks bleak, despite recent actions by the developers.

According to information, the multiplayer game had a peak of 38,104 simultaneous players at its early access release on December 7th. However, the number of concurrent users decreased at an accelerated rate.

This MMO proposition reached a peak of 9,214 simultaneous players in the last 24 hours. At the time of writing, only 7,568 people are playing this game on Steam. This means it lost approximately 75% of its user base in less than a week.

Undoubtedly, these figures are bad news for the studio. After the problematic debut, the developers released patch 1.0.2, addressing "the most critical issues" and implementing general performance improvements. It seems that the studio takes feedback into account, but we will have to find out if that will be enough to regain the players' trust.

But tell us, did you give this game a chance? Do you think it has a future? Let us hear from you in the comments.

The Day Before is available for PC via Steam.
