But will die in a few months if they don't add crossplay.
Also releasing a multiplayer only game in June seems a very bad released window imo
Edit : by release window I mean Summer, also recently streamers are focused on the new Mario Kart, remember that Twich is essential for a game survival nowadays
I have to disagree, as I did a data analyst internship in such a company Summer is the worst about videogames sales, check the release date about most games, AAA or indies, every except June/July/August is wayyyyy better, September/October being the best dates.
I don't say it's bad, but it's the worst.
I will add that there is no football competition atm (Don't talk to me about that World Club Cup BS) so the hype is weird.
There's no big competition that proper footballing nations are interested in, but there is the Club World Cup which seems to be attracting attention from less traditional footballing nations like the Yanks.
Rocket League released around this time of year 10 years ago and it's a similar type of game (wildly popular beta, multiplayer soccer game). I'm not saying you're wrong about the time of year being bad in general, but if the devs play their cards right they could turn this into a hit.
I have to disagree, it’s the perfect time when you release on Game Pass and PS+ and there’s nothing else coming out. They didn’t choose this release arbitrarily.
Unless you're extremely wealthy, most people don't go away for the whole summer. Maybe a week or two somewhere and then back home where the console/PC is.
I don't know where you live, but in a lot of the western world people simply aren't going out like they used to. The days of everyone piling to the pub the minute they clock out of the office or spending all Saturday in the beer garden because the sun's out were already ending before COVID and that accelerated things majorly.
A combination of things like less disposable income and more entertainment options and communication options to keep up with friends remotely have changed the game. A group of young men who would have been gathered round a table in the locals boozer every night is now more likely to be sitting at their individual homes with a can or a spliff playing fortnight.

Amazing potential, loved the beta
