New shooter from Germany is still small on Steam, celebrates great successes on Twitch

Yager Development is a German video game development studio founded in 1999 by five developers and artists.

The Cycle: Frontier is a shooter of the Berlin Studio Yager, who is now officially launched in the beta on Steam and Epic Games Store. While the game numbers are just rather low on Steam, the game is in 2nd place of the trends on Twitch.

What is the Cycle for a game? The new Free2Play shooter reminiscent of the gameplay to a mix of Survival Game and Hunt: Showdown:

You spawn after entering the game on a sprawling map. There you can stay as long as you want, the server restarted every 6 hours. The focus is on creating equipment but also resources like gerrict. As in Hunt: Showdown, however, you lose your equipment if you die. You only keep the Loot if you successfully create it in your game session.

So that you will not get boring, there is a social stroke with different factions that give you missions in turn. You can unlock new weapons and upgrades over these.

An insight into the game will give you this new trailer:

How far is the state of the game? Since September 30, 2021 is the Cycle: Frontier in a beta. You can request access to Steam or Epic Store. More detailed information about the beta and the content of the shooter can be found here:

The game principle of the shooter seems to arrive well. Because even though players are still small, the first major streamer became aware of the game.

The Cycle is in the twitch trends in second place

Where is the game just on Steam? In the last 3 days, The Cycle was able to record first successes on Twitch. With just under 1.1 million streamed hours, the game lands only on 23 course of all categories on Twitch, but hardly any other game could report such a strong growth.

In the 3 days earlier it was just 200,000 hours.

The Cycle is in the trend play in the trend games in the last 3 days, right behind Fortnite. For the trends, it is looked how many viewers could grow the game compared to the previous 3 days.

Also, the number of channels that the cycle stream at the same time have risen sharply. On October 15, only almost 25 channels were online at the same time, it was even more than 250 on October 19, ie tenfold.

Where do the viewers come from? The biggest upswing for The Cycle was through the Streamer Jaryd Summit1g Lazar, who is one of the top 30 of the streamer on Twitch.

Just just under 700 players on Steam

What are the number of players in comparison? While Summit1g had in his Livestream to The Cycle up to 21,000 simultaneous spectators, the game at Steam is currently only on average 711 players (via Steamcharts). We do not know the number of players from the Epic Store, but according to our previous experience, they are tended to be slightly lower.

The small number of players are likely to be because The Cycle is currently still in a beta and you have to actively ask for a key. On the other hand, the new shooter of the German developer Yager is still quite unknown.

If you want to try the game yourself, you can continue to promote the beta on Steam or Epic Games.
