Paladins audience reached 11 million players

11 million people have registered in the free multiplayer shooter Paladins for 8 months, according to the game developer Hi-Rez Studios.

More than 2 million console users have appeared in the game in two weeks since the start of the Paladins open beta test for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Statistics do not take into account Chinese players, because in China Paladins is tested in closed mode and published by Tencent.

Despite criticism for its similarity to Blizzard’s Overwatch, the Hi-Rez Studios project managed to become popular on Steam, collecting 86% of positive reviews out of 105.5 thousand user ratings.

After appearing in early access on Steam in September last year, Paladins entered the Top 10 most popular games on the platform by the number of gamers. In the first day after the release, over 100 thousand new accounts were registered in it.
