Civilization 6 Steam edition: A massive success
When we talk about the most successful game on PC, and in particular Steam, people often talk about the mega success of DotA 2, or Fallout 4’s record of concurrent users on Steam. However, recently, an unexpected game has also achieved an impressive figure of users. That’s right, Civilization 6 has managed to make the headlines or itself with massive success on Steam.
According to Firaxis Games, the developer of the game, Civilization 6 has exceeded expectation in terms of sales. As of now, the title has already sold over one million copies on Steam! More impressively, the game has just been launched for only two weeks! The development team has taken the time to celebrate on Twitter, thanking players for its recent success. However, in hindsight, this result is not too surprising, as it is one of the most anticipated game for the holiday. Still, having 1 million players in such a short amount of time is an incredible feat!

At its peak number of daily users, it even tops another strategy-based PC game, Football Manager 2017, which is also another highly awaited game. This success continues the tradition of the Civilization franchise, which has garnered an impressive number of dedicated fans over the span of the previous titles.
