At launch, Steam Deck players made up 10% of the playerbase for The Pale Beyond. 9 months later after sales/etc that number has dropped to 5%.
Both numbers are significantly more than the steamOS user percentage (0.5%), so we can make the assumption that Steam Deck users make up a disproportionately high amount of games sales, and particularly full price sales for new releases.
After 9 months that seems to be about right for how many players are engaging with a title though doesn’t it?
It’s not a live service kind of game
Yes but it’s not 50% fewer players, it’s 50% less of the userbase using Steam Decks.
