While Conan Exiles may have made a fairly quick trip out of early access compared to its peers in the genre, there’s always the worry that it’s already made its mark and launch won’t get people interested in it. However, the people at Funcom seem happy with its concurrency numbers, as the game’s official Twitter reported concurrency of around 50,000 players on Sunday evening. That’s just how many people were all online and playing at the same time.
The same Twitter was also used to inform players that while there are other plans down the road, the immediate focus for the team is on addressing performance and stability issues; quality-of-life improvements and other patches will have to wait a little bit longer. So while there’s more stuff coming down the road, it can hold off until everyone can log in and play the game reliably. Which is probably for the best.
Sunday evening we had a whopping 49,308 concurrent players in #ConanExiles on PC! It's incredibly exciting and humbling to see so many people playing the game, not to mention inspirational for the team to work even harder on improvements and fixes. Thank you! pic.twitter.com/4jLryqhRpc

Hello EXILES! Going forward we will be looking at features, content and QoL improvements. However, at this moment in time, our highest priority are stability and performance improvements. We'll keep updating you on the planned hotfixes as we progress.
