Windrose hits 2 million sales milestone, proving yet again that the world really, really wanted a good pirate game
Early access pirate sim Windrose has hit two million sales, pretty much exactly a month after its April 14 release date. That’s a big number, and to contextualize it with another sales milestone announced this week, it took Silent Hill f more than six months to sell the same amount.
These games are obviously very different but it’s still interesting to look at them side-by-side: Silent Hill is a decades-old heritage franchise, and its most recent installment released not just on PC but PS5 and Xbox Series X as well. Two million sold is a positive outcome, according to Konami.
The studio also used the announcement to give an update on development. “In terms of development updates, we’re planning to release another patch soon to address several common issues reported by the community. After that, we begin full production on the next major update. We’re still discussing the scope of that update internally, so it will take some time before we can share more details. However, our goal remains the same: to continue expanding the experience in meaningful ways and make the wait worthwhile.”
