Overview
- Windrose, which launched Tuesday in PC Early Access, has sold 1 million copies in six days and peaked above 200,000 concurrent Steam players.
- It vaulted into Steam’s top sellers and most‑played lists, with coverage noting it passed Rust, Crimson Desert and Slay the Spire 2 and at one point ranked second by revenue.
- Kraken Express pushed hotfixes after launch weekend to steady servers and improve online co‑op, and it asked players to share diagnostics to speed multiplayer fixes.
- The team plans to stay in Early Access for about 1.5 to 2.5 years, target roughly 50% more content for version 1.0, and raise the price at full release, with console versions to follow after 1.0.
- The PC‑only game is sold on Steam and the Epic Games Store and supports solo play or up to eight‑player online co‑op in a survival‑crafting take on the Golden Age of Piracy.
