Windrose Sells 1 Million in Six Days as Steam Peak Passes 220,000

Kraken Express shifts attention to stabilizing the PC Early Access hit.

Overview

  • Windrose, which the developer said Sunday passed 1 million sales, also hit a 222,134 concurrent player peak over its launch weekend on Steam.
  • Following Sunday’s surge, the team pushed a Monday update that adds manual server selection, direct IP connections, and automatic save backups to ease connection issues.
  • The Early Access build centers on PvE survival with co-op for up to eight players, and it does not include PvP.
  • Kraken Express plans a 1.5 to 2.5 year Early Access period, targets about 50% more content by 1.0, and expects to raise the price at full release.
  • The game is PC-only on Steam and Epic for now, and the studio says consoles are a later goal after the PC 1.0 launch.
