Red Barrels attributes the surge to several factors.The game received a large discount in the Steam fall sale, and a significant part of the new audience came from China.At the same time, the studio continues with seasonal updates and events.

For a three-year-old co-op horror game, this is a rare leap.The audience's return was strong enough for the previous all-time high to increase severalfold.

Among other recent surges in the audience, we have already examined new Deadlock record and global launch of AION 2.
