Feast of a Million Vampires; V Rising Dominates Steam

Stunlock has announced that sales of V Rising have surpassed one million copies.

V Rising doesn't cease to amaze. A few days were enough for the game to become one of this year's biggest successes on Steam.

Impressive sales results of V Rising

Recall that the game debuted in Steam Early Access on May 17 this year. It is a paid production, costing under $20. The project is available only on PC.

  1. The authors have just announced that the game has sold more than one million copies.
  2. This impressive result was achieved in just one week after the release.
  3. The pace of sales remains high. After three days from the game's debut the authors informed about exceeding the threshold of half a million copies sold.
  4. V Rising was also the biggest bestseller of last week on Steam.

V Rising praised by players and popular among streamers

The game not only sells superbly, but also attracts crowds. The current activity record is 150,645 concurrent users, set in the first weekend after the launch. We are curious if this result will be broken this Saturday or Sunday. This will tell us if the game's popularity is something that will last or just a temporary phenomenon.

The game is also enjoying a large following on Twitch. On the day of its release, broadcasts from V Rising were followed by 136 thousand viewers at the same time. The most popular streamer playing this game is Shroud.

It is worth adding that V Rising also collects excellent ratings from players. On Steam, 88% of users praise the title, which is categorized as a "very positive reception". Importantly, the reception is constantly improving, because four days ago it was 87%.

Seems the only dissatisfied groups are fans of Battlerite and Battlerite: Royale, two older games from Stunlock. They accuse the devs of abandoning these projects in favor of V Rising. However, their voices are in the minority, and the organized action of review bombing did not bring any results. An important role in the whole matter is played by the fact that already three years ago the developers informed that they cease the development of Battlerite, so focusing on V Rising should not be a surprise to anyone.
