The First Descendant Hits 10 Million Players in First Week Despite Controversies

The First Descendant, Nexon’s free-to-play looter shooter, has garnered 10 million players within its first week of launch, peaking at 264,860 concurrent players on Steam. Despite its popularity, the game faces criticism for aggressive monetization and alleged copying of Destiny 2 icons. Nexon has addressed these issues and released a significant update. IGN rated the game 5/10, citing monotonous quests and an infuriating free-to-play model.
