Halo Reach (Microsoft)
The remaster of Halo: Reach just came out on PC and it is already having an impact. It has been 12 years since the game has returned to the PC platform. Steam has given the game quite the welcome with over 100,000 players making it one of the top five games on Valve’s storefront.

Destiny 2 started off with 220,000 concurrent players, however, the game began to slowly decrease in players as the season came to an end. Today, roughly 100,000 players play the game.
