Xbox Game Pass as a service has benefited a wide range of interested parties, from Microsoft themselves to the players and perhaps most of all, the developers. Such is the case with Torn Banner Studios’ Chivalry 2, which following its inclusion on Game Pass, has seen half a million additional players.
Making the announcement on Twitter, the official Chivalry 2 page said “Chivalry 2 has seen over 500k new players since its launch on Game Pass this week! We’re thrilled to welcome so many new knights to the field.”
This is an impressive boost to player counts, especially as the game only dropped onto Game Pass one week ago. Being a multiplayer title, a game like Chivalry lives and dies by its active player count, and so to see half a million more players enter the battlefield is exciting for the developers, as well as the longevity of the game.
Chivalry 2 initially released back in April 2021, managing to sell a million copies during the game’s first 4 months on the market. Seeing the game add half that in less than a week is exciting and highlights the potential of Game Pass – especially when it comes to multiplayer titles.
