flag Highguard's player count crashed to 253 on Steam by Feb. 26, 2026, after a failed launch and mass layoffs.

flag Highguard, the PvP raid shooter from Wildlight Entertainment, has plummeted to just 253 concurrent players on Steam by February 26, 2026, down from a launch peak of nearly 100,000. flag Despite a recent update with new content and balance changes, player retention has failed to improve, with numbers falling below 1,000 on February 22. flag The studio, once employing around 100 people, has undergone mass layoffs, leaving fewer than 20 developers. flag Internal reports indicate Tencent withdrew funding due to poor retention metrics, despite leadership claiming financial stability. flag The game’s failure is attributed to overconfidence, a secretive launch strategy, and an underestimation of market competition, though the title remains active with minimal ongoing support.
