Frostpunk 2 has already sold over 350K copies

Frostpunk 2 was released on September 20th and things seem to be off to a good start so far, with 11-Bit Studios confirming that 350,000 copies have been sold in the first three days. 

With the 350,000 copies it sold, 11 Bit said that Frostpunk 2's expected income has already paid the expenditures associated with the game's production and marketing. In comparison, the original Frostpunk sold 250,000 copies in three days when it was published exclusively on PC in 2018. Within three years (after debuting on other platforms), this figure increased to 3 million copies. By April 2024, this total sales had already exceeded the 5 million mark.

Frostpunk 2 has similarly exceeded its predecessor in terms of player count. According to SteamDB, it launched to a peak player count of 35,533 on September 20th, significantly more than the original Frostpunk's opening of 29,361 players in 2018. However, it's worth noting that SteamDB won't take the players who bought and played the game on PC via Microsoft Store or Game Pass (available for subscribers on launch day), leading us to believe the actual peak was higher.

11 Bit Studios' new strategy survival game currently has an average critic score on Opencritic of 86 and a “Mostly positive” score on Steam, with 72% of the players recommending it. Frostpunk 2 is now available for Mac and PC, with Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 versions coming in 2025.
