The buzz has seemingly translated into additional sales, with the developer announcing a new milestone of over five million units sold.This is up from the 3.5 million units sold in December, so the momentum if not the exposure from the awards show definitely contributed.

It launched on February 20th, 2024, and immediately garnered attention, earning critical acclaim and selling 500,000 copies in ten days.There have since been collaborations with numerous other titles, including The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Among Us, Dave the Diver, Vampire Survivors, 1000xResist, Cyberpunk 2077, Slay the Spire, Warframe, and many more.
