Free-to-play indie sensation Task Bar Hero continues its rapid rise on Steam, reaching a new milestone in concurrent player numbers. The game, which runs directly on the Windows taskbar, has now exceeded 526,000 players online at the same time.
On Sunday, Task Bar Hero hit a new peak of 526,596 concurrent players. Since then, the numbers have remained remarkably stable, with the game consistently maintaining more than half a million active users. As a result, it currently outperforms many well-known multiplayer titles and remains one of Steam’s biggest indie success stories.
Released on May 27, Task Bar Hero steadily built its audience and quickly became a favorite among idle game fans. Based on its current growth trend, the title may not have reached its ceiling yet and could set another record next weekend.
Despite its success, the game has also attracted controversy. Some players have raised concerns about the amount of data being collected, while others claim they were wrongly flagged as cheaters, leaving permanent cheating marks on their Steam profiles.
Task Bar Hero currently holds a mixed review rating on Steam. Most complaints focus on bugs, server problems, and the loss of loot or progression following updates. Many negative reviews are tied to the developers’ ongoing efforts to combat cheating.
A major factor behind the game’s popularity is its marketplace economy. Players can sell in-game loot for real money, creating a strong incentive for some users to exploit the system. While the developers are attempting to protect the game’s economy, some legitimate players say they have been affected by anti-cheat measures as well.
At the time of writing, Task Bar Hero still had more than 513,000 concurrent players, showing that interest in the game remains exceptionally strong.до проєкту.
