Despite releasing over a decade ago in 2013 (oh how time flies), it seems that free-to-play online action shooter Warframe has never been more popular than right now. This week, following the release of the new The Old Peace update, the game's concurrent player count on Steam is rocketing towards it's all-time peak. Frankly, it's not hard to understand why.
While the release of any fresh batch of content is sure to bring in new and returning players, at least for a little bit of time, it seems even Warframe's team wasn't expecting the near doubling of players that The Old Peace has encouraged. Taking to Twitter, creative director Rebecca Ford posted a graph of players that shows just that, while writing, "we are doing our best out here to keep things alive but we were not expecting this much of a jump."
