Lethal Company - What's behind the surprise hit of the year?

The Surprise Hit Lethal Company

Welcome to the chilling world of Lethal Company, the indie horror game that is currently taking the Steam charts by storm. With its unique sci-fi cooperative approach and nerve-wracking moments, the game has already managed to achieve a 10/10 rating on Steam.

But what makes Lethal Company so special? The game puts you and your friends in the shoes of a salvage crew sent to desert planets and abandoned ships to recover valuable scrap parts. However, caution is advised - without teamwork and a lot of nerves, you won't make it back alive.

Player Record: Lethal Company Surpasses the Competition

On November 19th, Lethal Company set a new player record on Steam, surpassing well-known games like Dead by Daylight, Phasmophobia, and The Forest. With 115,050 simultaneous players, the game has even surpassed the total player count of horror classics such as Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 2 Remake.

The Comparison: Lethal Company vs. Other Horror Games

  • Phasmophobia: 112,717 players
  • Dead by Daylight: 105,093 players
  • The Forest: 78,097 players
  • Resident Evil Village: 106,631 players
  • Resident Evil 2 Remake: 74,227 players

Only the popular game Sons of the Forest has managed to have more simultaneous players so far, with an incredible 414,257 players.

Outlook: The Future of Lethal Company

But who knows what the future holds? Perhaps Lethal Company will continue to grow and one day even break the record set by Sons of the Forest.
