According to SteamDB, the game’s all-time peak is at 19,181 concurrent players. The previous record was set by Sonic Mania about five years ago, with 11,937 concurrent players. Sonic Frontiers – The DF Tech Review – Every Version Tested – PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Switch! Earlier this year, the launch of Sonic Origins managed just 2668 concurrent players. Sonic Frontiers is definitely the most popular Sonic release on Steam in quite some time. On Steam, the game currently has an overwhelmingly positive rating, with fans detailing their praise in reviews. “The big cat shows up,” says one review, apparently praise enough. “This game feels like welcoming an old friend back into your life,” reads another review, while another describes the game as “a Sonic game with Metal Gear Rising boss fights and if that doesn’t sell you nothing will done”. Our review of Sonic Frontiers was more critical, describing it as “a hot mess of a reinvention that can’t commit to its new direction.”
