May 9 - how good is the date for launching the open early alpha testing of the game?

Question

Game development

How correct is it to launch an open early alpha test of the game on a holiday, in this case, May 9, if you want to get as many users online as possible on the server? Will it increase or decrease the number of players?
The game is multiplayer, completely free, does not even require registration, on a military theme.
What can be done to increase the number of online players when the server is launched?
Thank you.
