STEEL HUNTERS is another live service casualty as it’s shutting down

STEEL HUNTERS from Wargaming Group only arrived on Steam in April, and it’s already going to be shut down by the developers.

The Early Access title from the developers of World of Warships and World of Tanks just didn’t hit the mark. Looking at player counts on Steam, it dropped pretty rapidly after the initial release to well below 1,000 concurrent players in that same month. Its all-time peak was only 4,479, so for such a game it never really lived.

Writing in Steam announcement they said the servers will remain only for 90 days along with adding custom game support for the remaining time. They said it’s simply “not sustainable” to continue developing it.

They had some stiff competition with Mecha BREAK, which sadly doesn’t work on Desktop Linux but does on Steam Deck due to the annoying anti-cheat.

STEEL HUNTERS was rated Steam Deck Playable and worked on Desktop Linux with Proton.
