Stray has become Annapurna’s biggest PC launch ever after it achieved over 60,000 concurrent players on Steam not even 24 hours after it was released on the storefront.

These figures come from SteamDB(opens in new tab) as well as Twitter user @BenjiSales(opens in new tab) who highlighted the significance of the number regarding Annapurna’s previous releases. According to BenjiSales, Stray has managed to achieve a record-breaking 50,555 concurrent players on Steam, less than an hour after it was released yesterday (July 19).

Comparing this to Annapurna’s other releases, Stray very easily comes out on top followed by last year’s Twelve Minutes (8,021 concurrent players), 2019’s Outer Wilds (7,936), this year’s Neon White (3,277), and even the 2020 PC release of Journey (1,757). It’s not a surprise, especially considering Stray recently became the most wishlisted game on Steam, pushing zombie MMO The Day Before down to second place.
