New Steam Game Surpasses AC in Popularity

In the digital halls of Steam, one game is currently reigning supreme, unexpectedly dethroning industry giants like Assassin’s Creed Shadows and more. The game, Schedule I, hails from a fledgling developer, TVGS. Although it’s only in its early access phase, it has already achieved remarkable sales.

Attractively priced at $19.99, the game is now available at a 15% discount for a limited period, slicing the price to $16.99. Yet, it’s not just the pricing strategy or the novelty of early access that’s fueling its ascent. Schedule I is drawing a community with its captivating gameplay.

Gameplay Experience

Schedule I transports players into the gritty underbelly of a city where they embark on a virtual journey of crime and strategy. Players start as small-time drug dealers without resources or connections, striving to build an empire in the fictional west-coast city of Hyland Point. They must navigate a dangerous world of law enforcement and rival cartels to climb the underworld’s ranks.

What truly sets Schedule I apart is its engagement metrics. The game recently hit a concurrent player high of 369,657 on Steam, landing it just behind the behemoths like PUBG and Counter-Strike 2. This surpasses other major titles, such as Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which peaked at 46,125 concurrent players within the same time frame.

A Winning Formula

Reception from the gaming community has been overwhelmingly positive. An impressive 98% of over 25,000 user reviews on Steam have been favorable. Gamers praise the game’s ability to seamlessly guide players through complex management mechanics, with one user noting the game’s immersive qualities that make hours pass by in a flash.

However, Steam Deck users should be cautious. The game’s compatibility with the device is currently labeled as “unknown.” While some may experience smooth gameplay, others could encounter technical challenges.

Despite these caveats, Schedule I has undeniably captured the attention and admiration of the Steam community. For more on Steam’s latest offerings, stay tuned for continuous coverage and updates.
