Raft's Huge Update Attracted Thousands of Players
Survival sandbox Raft from the small studio Redbeet Interactive lived to see the biggest update in its history. The Final Chapter attracted thousands of players.
A few days ago we informed that the highly acclaimed Raft will receive a big update on June 20, introducing a lot of changes both in the story and the gameplay. As it turned out, the developer didn't throw words to the wind - the fresh update called The Final Chapter transforms the game.
With great update comes great popularity
Taking into account Raft's current activity stats on Steam, we can say that all the work that Redbeet Interactive put into the patch was not in vain, because yesterday, the game was launched by more than 66 thousand people. At the time of writing the number of players remains at about 35 thousand., which is also a great result. For comparison Raft is currently more popular than FIFA 22, Elden Ring or Red Dead Redemption 2.
