Windrose, a co-op pirate adventure game that came out into early access a few days ago, is already one of Steam's most popular titles, having surpassed giants like Crimson Desert and Slay the Spire 2 to claim a spot among Valve's top three most-played games.
With a concurrent player peak of 204,000, Windrose lags behind only Valve's own games, Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2 at the time of writing, which are almost always the top two spots on the platform. What's surprising about this number isn't that it's an indie game made by a small but dedicated team, but that it launched to a quarter of that number on release day, continuously growing since.
