Second-Best Launch (CCU) for THQ Nordic: Titan Quest II Gets off to a Strong Start on Steam
More than 27,000 people played Titan Quest II concurrently after its surprise Early Access launch on Steam last weekend. The action RPG, developed by Grimlore Games, is now the second-fastest launch in the history of its publisher, THQ Nordic.
The shadow drop risk has paid off. On 1 August 2025, THQ Nordic released Titan Quest II in Early Access during its own showcase. On Friday night, the number of concurrent players (CCU) on Steam rose to 12,000. The highest CCU to date was achieved on Sunday, with 27,099 players. This puts the action role-playing game second only to Biomutant (55,048) in terms of CCU peak for the Austrian publisher, ahead of Jagged Alliance 3 (25,366), Elex (22,969) and Titan Quest Anniversary Edition (19,497 during a free-to-keep promotion). The actual number of Titan Quest II players is likely to be higher, as the game is also available on the Epic Games Store. Last week, only one new Steam launch had higher CCU figures: Grounded 2 from Obsidian Entertainment and Xbox, with 48,872.
