Dynamic availability of game queues

To help players find full lobbies better at off-peak hours, we are trialing the automatic enabling and disabling of specific game queues.

Based on the total amount of players playing any variant of a game in a region, certain variants will be unavailable at off-peak. For example, if the total amount of players playing Survival Games drops below 100 players, only Survival Games: Duos will be available.

We are currently trialing this on our Asia region, which has the biggest difference in peak- and off-peak player counts. Over time, this will be rolled out to all regions.

Single variant games (Hide and Seek, DeathRun, Murder Mystery) are always available. At least one variant of multi-variant games will always be available at any given time.

Players are free to switch to other regions, that may have more queues available. If your party is big enough, you can also make use of the queue command to jump into a variant not shown in the hub menu.
