Endless Free Weekend Results

Hey everyone,


Our Endless Free Weekend was a massive success! We thought we had set the bar pretty high, but you all crushed the 1 million hours played objective. Maybe we should have set it even higher...


Here's a short recap with numbers, because we've been told that big numbers are a thing people like.





As a reminder, your efforts unlocked a set of skins for Endless Space 2, from the Cravers Prime that were only available during Early Access, down to 6 brand new fleet skins. All of these will be delivered in an upcoming update (we need to finish 'em!). Check out our previous blog if you want to take another look at them.



My guess is: next time we'll aim for 10 million hours? Thanks for playing, everyone!

Hooray.
This would not be possible if game was not as GREAT as it is right now (except few problems, which you will solve eventually for sure)

Second, UE is awesome!

I'm curious about the numbers from EL too. That's what I spent the weekend playing instead of ES2.

I especially want to see those of DotE too. It's the only one part of the event that I had played as in that same one I just bought the first EP.


Anyway, congrats to the community for making this happen!

I would like to note that 2.4 million hours is about 33000 people playing for the weekend in your free version of the game is really a poor and humiliating result is not worth bragging about.

Sounds like a envious dick to me.

Hold up. So you're telling me each of those 33,000 people played 72 hours each? B/c y'know, 2,400,000hrs/33,000people = to roughly 72 hours per person. Which is like, a lot for human beings, that, do other things, than gaming. Things like sleeping, eating, living most of their lives away from the rectangular screen called a computer playing Endless games. 


It's not only hilarious that you got the 33,000 assuming people stayed up for 3 days straight playing video games, but also assuming everyone plays the same amount of time on the game.

What I'm getting from this is that the game is good enough for 33000 people to for 3 days straight.

For me ES2 hits perfectly the balance between beeing playable (not too much micro management) and having depth, beeing complex. You should set the milestone to "endless numbers" next time... go on!!!
