Babylon’s Fall, the action RPG from Platinum Games and Square Enix, saw some record-low player counts on PC this week.
As spotted by TechRadar, Babylon’s Fall‘s concurrent player count fell to a measly eight users on April 13, 2022, according to SteamCharts. In the past 30 days, an average of 130 people booted Babylon’s Fall, with the all-time peak being only 1,155 players. These are staggeringly low numbers across the board for a game that only came out on March 3, 2022.
Square Enix isn’t giving up on Babylon’s Fall despite the dismal numbers. In early March, the company stated that there were no plans to scale back development, with the recent NieR: Automata crossover event proving that the content rollout is still chugging along.

Babylon’s Fall is also one of the worst received games in 2022 thus far. Critics absolutely demolished it, with the action RPG hovering around 40/100 on reviews aggregate Metacritic. Quite the opposite of Elden Ring, which coincidentally came out Feb. 25, 2022, the same day as the pre-launch demo for Babylon’s Fall that didn’t build anyone’s confidence.
Time will tell if future updates help, but things aren’t looking good for Babylon’s Fall so far.
