Capcom is giving out a free Exoprimal skin after player milestone

Capcom’s new multiplayer game Exoprimal launched on July 14, 2023, and the dinosaur game already has 1 million players. Capcom announced the news on Twitter and said that to celebrate the milestone, the team will add a free Skywave skin in the next Exoprimal update, which goes live on Aug. 18, 2023.

Skywave is a popular choice thanks to their exceptional support abilities that, while a bit lacking on the offense front, help the rest of the team deal with threats easily.

It sounds like another win for Capcom in a year of record-breaking successes, though the 1 million players isn’t a concurrent count. On SteamDB, Exoprimal has settled into a comfortable 1,200 to 1,800 players at any given time, down from a peak of nearly 5,000 when the game first launched.

Capcom didn’t provide any information about the player count split, but seeing as Exoprimal is on Xbox Game Pass, it seems reasonable to assume that quite a few of these 1 million players are coming to the Overwatchlike game from that route.

Exoprimal pits teams of five players against hordes of dinosaurs and other environmental hazards, though you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s simpler than it really is. For reasons unknown, Exoprimal hides most of its maps and modes behind several hours of basic missions, so it takes a while to get to the good stuff, as it were.

The team promised more updates over the coming months, so expect more modes, skins, and, hopefully, more players as Exoprimal finds even firmer footing in the back half of 2023.
