Let us remind you that for owners of the extended edition, Frostpunk 2 started on September 17, and the full release took place on the 20th on PC (Steam, GOG, EGS, Microsoft Store) and in the PC Game Pass service.
As it became known, in just three days from the full release, sales of Frostpunk 2 on PC exceeded 350 thousand copies. For comparison: the original Frostpunk reached 250 thousand units over a similar period of time.
The developers added that the projected (11 bit studios has not yet received payment) revenue from the initial sales of Frostpunk 2 has already covered the costs of production and promotion of the game.
«Thank you very, very much for all your support! She (almost) melted our frozen hearts. The work doesn’t end there: we are constantly working on patches and fixes, and your feedback is priceless,” the authors assured.
