Based on records from SteamDB, the previous high was 2,559 back in November 2023, meaning Half Sword's record has jumped by more than 250%. If you want to try it out yourself, just head here.

The New Year is a great time to play a new game, and my first of 2025 is Half Sword — an amazing medieval combat sim that's completely free-to-play right now.
