After More Than a Year Total War Warhammer 3 Stays Live
Most games are kept alive by releasing patches or major updates if they do not have a new edition. The most recent major game released was Total War: Warhammer III on February 17, 2022. As of October 2022, the series has sold over 40.4 million copies.
During that period it eclipsed the total sales of Total War: Warhammer, which had 2.08 million copies, and Total War: Warhammer II, which sold less than one million copies. The latest Steam reports are still impressive enough to hold onto its fans and player base.
| Month | Avg. Players | Peak Players |
|---|---|---|
| Last 30 Days | 17,741.7 | 29,854 |
| June 2023 | 17,996.9 | 33,771 |
| May 2023 | 21,753.7 | 38,032 |

Without including the 2023 sales statistics, combined sales of the game are about 45 million copies. lagging far behind the number five slot by another 35 million copies. PUGB has upped its performance this year with critics estimating that it may become the most sold game ever.
