I love it, congrats Pearl Abyss.
Nice !
In 24hours or what? Looks like 2026 is off to a great start in terms of hits with this RE9 and Pokotopia. Hopefully Saros/Pragmata and 007 all find success in spring as well.
Was worried that the big titles were too Q3/Q4 heavy but its look like a good spread in the end
Yes, not sure why that part got cut out above but they said it was 2 million copies sold within the first 24 hours of release. Which is pretty damn good!
They wouldn't be keeping all of the revenue - publishers and store fronts also get a cut.
They are their publisher. So after tax and other store front cuts about half gets to them.
You can't just multiply the copies sold by $70, especially when it's a game with huge sales in Asia. On steam the game costs $38.91 in China, and $53.01 in South Korea.
Personally never understood the hype behind this game lol
Either way, great job on the milestone
I remember playing this at PAX east last year, was fun
