Evolve player count increases by %25000 after becoming free to play

You haven’t misread that nor is it a typo, that’s the player count increase percentage that came with the game’s shift to Free to play business model a couple of days ago.

The reason for this huge increase is that the game didn’t have many players still around when it was still full price. Lack of content and ridiculous DLC prices and plans ensured the game’s death last year but it looks like now it has a second chance.

The change of business model as well as promises to make the experience better than ever attracted tens of thousands of players into Evolve 2nd Stage on Steam as it’s now the 11th most played game the past 48 hours.
