Judging by the player numbers it's only a matter of time until more people are playing Age of Empires 3 than Age of Empires IV.

Aoe3 players are loyal. Game has problems but It's complete and full of content even without DLCs
Devs release big and monthly patches. For aoe4 devs moving the chinese dynasty banner is a significant thing lol. You can't custom hotkeys, pause game, choose color, taunt, explore the game with scenario editor...battles and pathings are awful. No competitive for months. All Maps look the same. Aoe4 is just being successful because of its name

The graph only shows Steam of course. Would there be more players out there on the Windows Store?

This is great news. StarCraft 2 hit AOE3 hard but AOE4 is not hurting AOE3 lol

Ah, but probably going down just as fast.

Wondering if the developers find this shocking or if they expected something like this.

Windows has likely much more aoe 4 players as compared to aoe 3
Fine line to something great is a strange change.

New data in even more shocking, I know the sample rate seems to be once every fortnight, but you expect the rate of decline to decrease.
In dec it looks like the rate of decline was 2k a fortnight, nows its been 3.5-4k decline for the last 2 fortnights time. In a months time aoe4 players will be below 10k. (currently like 15.4k now)

I suppose it being the holidays gave a false impression of the game possibly levelling out, but jan - march should still be good months for gaming

I know this doesnt include game pass, no idea if that data is available but on gamepass you can literally play any other game out there and its aimed at the more casual player who have probably dipped out and started playing a new game. What im saying i imagine the xbox game pass also follows a similar shape, and that i dont know how game pass players actually make the aoe4 devs much cash
