The Manor Lords strategy has already been hacked, but the game has overtaken GTA 5, Helldivers 2 and other hits on Steam in popularity

Hackers also reacted to the release of Manor Lords, but still many decided to financially support the talented developer

Recently, the most anticipated game of April 2024 was released on Steam (more than 3 million times added to the wishlist). We are talking about the medieval urban planning strategy Manor Lords.

Manor Lords launched in Steam Early Access – the game still has a long way to go, but overall users are very happy with the project. Peak online on Steam exceeded 150 thousand players, which allowed it to overtake Helldivers 2, Grand Theft Auto 5, Fallout 4 and other hits.

As of April 26, Manor Lords is the most popular premium game (above it are shareware products / those that have switched to a F2P model).

It is noteworthy that Manor Lords was immediately released on Xbox Game Pass, and hackers were quickly able to hack the standard DRM protection and release a “free” trial version – but many still decided to buy the game.
