SALES/PLAYER COUNTS & DEALS

Subnautica 2 has sold 2 million copies in 12 hours, with 9x the players as the first, and at this point I figure that Krafton CEO is already on his second bottle

It's rare, especially in this day and age, to see a genuine comeuppance play out in real time—which is why I'm savouring this particular piece of glee as I'm informed that Subnautica 2 has hit a 2 million copy milestone in just 12 hours, after selling a million copies in one.
Per a press release sent to PC Gamer, "Peak concurrent players across Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Xbox exceeded 651,000, with Steam alone reaching a peak of more than 467,000 concurrent players. This marks approximately nine times the all-time peak concurrent player count of the original Subnautica, which launched in 2018."

Windrose hits 2 million sales milestone, proving yet again that the world really, really wanted a good pirate game
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/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.
Windrose, on the other hand, is PC-only and early access to boot. No one had heard of it this time last year, nor the Uzbekistan-based studio making it. Under these circumstances, selling two million units in a month is no small feat. It goes to show that the hunger for a properly good pirate game is huge.
