AOE4 peak is already higher than AOE2

AOE-4 could be said to have a lot of players. 30-35% of players are on XBOX game Pass.

[Poll] What platform do you play AOE-3 DE on? (Steam or XBOX Game Pass) - #2 by EaglemutOP

AOE-3 DE has relatively many players on steam and few on xbox. But AOE-3 in general is played much more than just counting the definitive edition. On steam I see some original AOE-3 users and there are also many playing on gameranger.
