🔍 Summary:

The puzzle game “Blue Prince,” which involves navigating through a constantly changing mansion, has captured the attention of many PC gamers, particularly on Steam. According to Rhys Elliott from Alinea Analytics, while the game’s sales on PlayStation and Xbox are currently low, possibly due to its availability on Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, it has seen significant engagement on Steam. The game reached a peak of over 15,000 concurrent players and maintains around 13,000 active players. Notably, nearly 20% of these players have achieved the main goal of reaching room 46 in the 45-room mansion. Additionally, over 25% of Steam players have dedicated between 20 to 50 hours to the game since its release just eight days ago. Despite the complexity of its early stages, the game maintains a “very positive” rating on Steam with over 2,500 reviews. Interestingly, 57% of “Blue Prince” players have also played “Balatro,” another game with roguelike elements, indicating a crossover in player interest. The game’s quirky design choices, such as having only one bathroom in the large mansion, continue to intrigue and puzzle the gaming community.
