Today is the day that many were waiting for. The day of the launch of Tales of Arise, the praised new installment of the mythical JRPG saga by Bandai Namco that returns with a renewed air and with a story that leaves its mark. We have already been able to play it and we have told you our feelings in our analysis, but what is clear is that the fans were eager to play it. And it is that now we have known that Tales of Arise is pulverizing the franchise’s record for simultaneous players if we stick to the figures of Steam users (via BenjiSales).
Tales of Arise has shattered the franchise record for highest concurrent players on Steam. It’s a higher peak than ALL previous Tales games on PC combined!

Tales of Arise has broken the record for the most concurrent players in the franchise on Steam. It’s a peak greater than all Tales of games on Steam combined”, Said the industry analyst before giving way to some striking figures. As you can see in the previous tweet, Tales of Arise has so far added a peak of more than 45,000 simultaneous players. The title that held the record so far was Tales of Zestiria with 9,696, which is why Arise has almost quintupled the figures of the most successful video game of the Bandai Namco saga on Steam so far.
This is how the first notes of Tales of Arise are being
For now we do not know the numbers that Tales of Arise is reaping on the console, but given the success of the game on a historically unfavorable platform for the saga such as Steam, it is to be expected that the figures will be just as impressive. It seems clear that Tales of Arise has fallen on its feet and there are already many who believe that it is fair to nominate him as one of the game candidates of the year 2021. We will still have to wait for that, however. Meanwhile remember that Tales of Arise Now available on Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One and other platforms.
