(Motherland) - Many will likely be taken aback when they hear the name of this game.
When it comes to discussing the current Steam bestsellers, one would usually think of blockbuster titles from renowned publishers or studios, priced exorbitantly. However, life often brings delightful surprises. This time, that surprise is BattleBit Remastered - a game that may still be very unfamiliar to many gamers, even though it recently debuted with a very affordable price tag of just $15 for the early access version. However, surprisingly, BattleBit Remastered is currently the top-selling paid game on Steam, ranking just behind CS:GO in the global bestseller list.
As a result, BattleBit Remastered has earned its spot among the top 10 most played games today. This achievement becomes even more impressive when considering that Steam focuses on revenue rather than just the number of copies sold, indicating that BattleBit Remastered is earning more than blockbuster titles like Warzone 2, PUBG, or even Steam Deck. What's even more surprising is that BattleBit Remastered isn't a product of any famous studio or developer. Instead, it was created by a team of 4 individuals working at OkiGames, a project that consumed 7 years of their youth.
Fundamentally, BattleBit Remastered is a fun, modern FPS game that resonates well with players. It has modest system requirements and demands little storage space, yet offers expansive maps capable of accommodating up to 254 players in a single match while maintaining fluid movement and controls. Admittedly, BattleBit Remastered lacks the stunning graphics of other blockbusters, but with a diverse range of roles, weapons, and combat modes both on land, sea, and air, it provides ample choices for gamers.
At present, BattleBit Remastered continues to demonstrate its allure. Its affordability and low system requirements contribute to its appeal. The publisher, OkiGames, has yet to outline any further development roadmap for the game, aside from some updates to improve server conditions due to the overwhelming influx of players, which currently stands at nearly 30,000 gamers.
