More than a decade ago, a survival horror video game called 7 Days to Die entered its Early Access phase, and due to numerous reasons, it was never really able to escape its Alpha stage. Fortunately, developer The Fun Pimps stuck by its title through all this time, knowing the kind of potential that the game would have in an arguably overdone genre.

Fast forward to present time, and 7 Days to Die is all set to be launched in all its glory later this month on modern consoles, and with the kind of player resurgence that the game has managed to achieve, it may be released in its greatest state yet.

7 Days to Die Has Overtaken Plenty of Massive Video Games on Twitch

7 Days to Die has achieved yet another milestone after being in development for more than a decade.

In fact, 2024 is proving to be quite a successful year for the survival video game, as it has helped the developer reach new milestones on streaming platforms like Twitch.

Racking up more than 90,000 viewers on the platform, the title has even overtaken plenty of other gaming behemoths, such as Dota 2, Fortnite, and even the recently launched The First Descendant.

The only six video games standing in its way on Twitch are titles that one would generally expect to be there, especially with the new DLC for Elden Ring, Shadow of the Erdtree, and the exciting Transformers collaboration for Valorant. Although these games are still quite ahead when it comes to numbers, 7 Days to Die is holding up quite well, reaching an all-time peak number of 92,678 players.

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S Players Should Gear up for Zombies

With the kind of success that the game is garnering, a current-gen release is just around the corner.

Surpassing highly popular video games like Call of Duty: Warzone, the drastic increase in streaming numbers on Twitch may indicate that there are still many gamers who want to check out what all the hype is about.

However, players on current-gen consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S still have not had a chance to try 7 Days to Die out for themselves.

With a newly found confidence because of the latest statistics, The Fun Pimps has reassured its fanbase that if everything goes smoothly, the current-gen release will take place as scheduled on July 25.

Not only will that bring in a brand new player base, but it will also likely become a better gaming experience for the existing players, which is something 7 Days to Die has been doing successfully with fresh changes to various elements.
