Lies of P released back in September 2023 to a wave of success, selling 1 million copies within its first month and cementing itself as one of – if not the – best Souls-like outside of FromSoftware’s own efforts. 6 months on from release and the game is performing better than ever, surpassing 7 million players.
Making the announcement on Twitter, the official Lies of P page revealed the milestone achievement, saying “7 MILLION reasons to celebrate. Thank you for being part of our journey.”
As mentioned, Lies of P sold 1 million copies in its first month, and to see it continuing to grow at such a rapid rate is impressive to say the least.
It is worth noting however that in this situation, 7 million players does not equate to 7 million copies sold. While the game has likely gone on to sell way more than the initial 1 million, Lies of P was a day-one Game Pass addition, meaning a good chunk of the 7 million likely played it there.
Regardless, Lies of P has seemingly managed to break out from under the shadow of FromSoftware.
