Launch recap, October 26 2026

Launch day brought the 1-star quest set, optional faction PvP, and a rough network evening. Developers posted on Reddit that Town Square was temporarily solo. October 28’s patch is the first fix list. No official concurrent-player peak was published.

What the posts agree on

1-star content is the launch slice, described as about five hours of PvE plus optional PvP. Island Odyssey is named for December. A Reddit launch thread had 18 upvotes and 29 comments at the research check. That is a thread size, not a review score.

What I checked

I read the “out now” announcement next to the Reddit launch thread and the Wire story. The celebration and the outage are both part of the day. I did not pick a winner for tone.

Questions

How many people were online at launch?

No studio or platform total was published for Xbox or Game Pass. SteamDB’s all-time peak in the research pass was 210, which is not the same as a launch-hour figure.

Was the launch build wiped?

The open beta said it would wipe. The launch FAQ does not describe another wipe on October 26.

Sources

Official identifies the publisher, not independent corroboration. Unless a specific claim cites two independent sources, each attributed figure or report is a single-source observation. Different pages from one publisher are one source.
