It’s difficult to find words to comment on the overwhelming success of Banana, the video game of the same name (if you can call it that…) by Steam which has now arrived in the top 10 also undermining Baldur’s Gate 3.
We are talking, let’s remember, about a free to play video game in which you click on a very normal picture of a banana, and nothing else. Clicking games are nothing new on Steam, but not all clicking games reach peaks of almost 40 thousand simultaneous players in 24 hours.
The reason is given by a mix of collecting and, at this point, a little delirium and desire to novelty.
There’s a whole genre of video games like Bananawhere you can easily collect Steam items by clicking on a simple image.
Unlike the trading cards on Valve’s platform that are earned simply by playing, the items can be sold in exchange for money for the Steam wallet, or exchanged. Their prices can vary based on various factors, so it may happen that they can be resold at a high price.
This led Banana on Steam’s most-played list, and when we thought things might be back to normal, Bananas slipped into the top 10 most-played titles.
As reported EurogamerIndeed, Banana is now ninth on Steam’s most played games chart in terms of peak number of players of all time.
With a peak of 884,469 banana fans and potassium, the title has past the peak of video games like Hogwarts Legacy and, at the moment, he kicked out Baldur’s Gate 3 with its 875,343 peak players.
All the while Banana it is also receiving very positive reviews, in spite of titles like Starfield who are suffering the review bombing hopeless.
If you want to have fun in other ways with a banana, you can find many similar items on Amazon at various prices. You might as well buy them.
