Onimusha: Way of the Sword player count on Steam drops to 20,000, though the all-time peak remains above 84,000

p>In our previous report, we covered the game's top-tier PC performance (128 fps at 4K with an RTX 5090) and the minor issue regarding motion controls on Switch 2. Ten days post-launch, the picture emerging from Steam Charts is typical of a successful title settling into its stride: from a peak of over 84,794 concurrent players in the opening hours, *Onimusha: Way of the Sword* has dropped to around 20,000 current users, with a peak of 60,006 over the last 24 hours.These remain solid figures for a single-player game that doesn't rely on multiplayer longevity.

Meanwhile, Capcom is keeping the momentum going.The regular weekly "Oni Memo" update focuses this time on Dokyo—one of the toughest enemies Musashi faces—offering insights into his design and narrative role.Regarding the Switch 2 demo, players who try the limited version can carry their progress over to the full game and unlock an exclusive amulet—a tangible incentive to give the demo a try before buying, and a smarter move than standard promotional content.

The question of difficulty raised by early reviewers remains unresolved; so far, there is no sign of a patch introducing an intermediate difficulty setting.*Onimusha* is selling well and performing strongly in benchmarks, but Capcom has yet to address that specific issue.
