Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Season 3 Kicks Off With Less Than 250 Players On Steam

Summary

• Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has had trouble keeping its players around with each new season.
• History has repeated itself with Season 3, which peaked at 248 active players.
• That number has somehow dropped even more today with less than 200 players jumping in to try Lawless out.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's third season, which introduces Lawless, has had a dismal start with a peak of less than 250 players on Steam.

Although Concord recently took the crown for being the biggest gaming flop of this generation (and some might say of all time), it's in very close competition with 2024's other massive letdown - Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. From the moment it was revealed as a co-op live-service game, Kill the Justice League has struggled to hold the attention of even the biggest DC fans.

Suicide Squad's Joker Season Is The First And Final Nail In Its Coffin

The Clown Prince of Crime has arrived in Metropolis, and unlocking him is an absolute pain.

Things were pretty rough at launch, but they've only gotten worse with each new season. The first, which introduced a strange variant of Joker, failed to reignite any interest for most players, a fate that was carried on with the frosty (pun intended) reception to Mrs Freeze in Season 2. In news that will shock no one, history is repeating itself with Season 3.

Suicide Squad's Third Season Has Less Than 200 Players

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's new season kicked off yesterday and, while the introduction of an alternate universe version of Deadshot's daughter called Lawless should be exciting, it's clearly not enough to bring most players back. As reported by Eurogamer, Kill the Justice League's SteamDB charts show that it only managed to hit a peak of 248 players when the new season launched.

As of the time of writing, that number has dropped to just 182 active players, which I probably don't need to tell you is very bad for the launch of a live-service game's latest season. That number is likely higher on PS5 and Xbox Series since they seem to have the main playerbase for Kill the Justice League, but it's still likely not doing well there either.

Kill the Justice League's player count has even managed to dip lower than 100 over the past few weeks, a number it's barely been able to double with a new season.

While it's true that there are simply a lot of games out right now to play that are going to take priority for most over Suicide Squad, it's becoming clearer and clearer with each update that there's simply no redeeming Kill the Justice League. The only new character who has the slightest chance is Deathstroke, but it seems likely that even he can't save this flaming wreck.

Shadows will use the delays for bug fixes, polishes, and possibly tweaking some gameplay elements - and should not cater to the loudest critics
