These are not patch notes these are PTR changes which are not official

A few thousand players on the EU NA servers, 1-3k

its pretty low but its fine during high times just dont expect non bot matches during the early mornings.

player count is sufficient for now

2k players to 5k in peak times on steam at least

On NA me and a buddy play from 9-12 CST most nights and queue times are about 2 minutes and while you occasionally see the same people in each game, you get new people each time. The game feels pretty healthy honestly. Most people still playing have good units, doctrines, gear - but there are some good catch up mechanics so you’d be alright. Look for a guide on meta units and unlock/max those - find a weapon you like and blow all your free materials on juicing one set for leadership. You would be just fine to hop in
