Content Warning Sells 1 Million Copies Despite Being Free for 24 Hours at Launch
15.04.2024 - 15:51 / ign.com
Content Warning publisher Landfall Games has announced the viral Steam hit has sold an impressive one million copies even after its eye-catching free launch period.
Landfall released Content Warning for free for the first 24 hours, signaling that it planned to charge for the game after the launch period. The Lethal Company-style co-op survival horror saw an impressive peak concurrent player number of 204,439 on Valve’s platform off the back of the promotion, but some questioned whether it would prove successful in the long run.
Clearly, the launch strategy has paid off. In a statement published on X/Twitter, Landfall Games said Content Warning has now sold one million copies on top of the 6.6 million players who downloaded the game for free. “Thank you all so much for liking our scary Iill game,” the publisher added.
It’s a remarkable success for Content Warning, which was developed by just a handful of people and released on April 1 as part of Landfall's tradition of releasing a game on April Fools' Day.
