Total War: WARHAMMER III Tops 100,000 Concurrent Steam Players
The spike shows that a four-Lord DLC, the largest such addition to the game so far, can still pull lapsed players back four years after launch even while the new content ships with balance complaints and a multiplayer unlock bug.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Total War: WARHAMMER III passed 100,000 concurrent Steam players after the September 24 release of the Lords of the End Times DLC, which adds four Legendary Lords: Nagash, the Glottkin, Thanquol, and Boris Todbringer. The article reports this is the first time the game has reached that mark in about four years, since August 2022. Steam user reviews are mixed for three of the four DLCs.
Creative Assembly released Lords of the End Times on September 24, and the base game moved to version 9.0 alongside it. The update strengthened campaign AI, added landmarks and battle maps, and applied balance changes. Past DLC has added Legendary Lords one at a time; this batch adds four. The player surge follows the content, not the patch, and it arrived before the developer's planned balance pass.
- Nagash, the King of the Dead: rated Mostly Positive on Steam
- the Glottkin, three brothers who fight as one: rated Mixed on Steam
- Thanquol, a cunning sorcerer: rated Mixed; units cannot be unlocked in multiplayer
- Boris Todbringer, driven by vengeance: rated Mixed on Steam
