The update saw Deltarune's Steam concurrent player count jump to 291,816, more than double the game's previous peak. Deltarune has entered the top 10 most played games on Steam, a remarkable achievement for a single-player RPG. The game's popularity surge with the Chapter 5 release has also propelled it to number 13 on Steam's top sellers list.

Aside from Steam, Deltarune is also available on PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2, attracting a wider player base.
