Chinese game Party Animals saw more than 113,000 players logged on simultaneously on its fourth free trial day, shattering the previous concurrent player record held by a Chinese game on the Steam platform.

Developed by Recreate Games, Party Animals is a multiplayer game where players adopt the personas of dolls and puppets to brawl with friends. While not officially released, a game demo available as a free trial from Oct 4 to 13 took the industry by storm, making it the latest party game sensation following the success of Among Us and Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout.
