Minecraft Dungeons Breaks Steam Records Six Days in a Row After Sequel Trailer

Six days straight. Minecraft Dungeons' player count is exploding - and it's not hard to see why, given the hype surrounding the sequel's trailer, which has clearly reignited interest in the original game, now breaking its concurrent player count record on Steam with no signs of slowing down.

It started on Sunday. The new Minecraft Dungeons 2 trailer dropped at the Xbox Games Showcase. You'll see a big spike in players after that. Before, the highest count on Steam was 4,022.

The next days were even better, with 4,651 players on Monday, then over 5,000 on Tuesday, and we've seen a new record of 6,268 players at the time of writing, which is key for the game's popularity.
