Everspace 2 has sold more than 300,000 copies on the PC to date and developer Rockfish Games said the game will debut on the consoles this summer.
Released on April 6 after five years of development, Everspace 2’s PC launch was an “explosive success,” according to Hamburg, Germany-based developer Rockfish Games.
The self-funded space action role-playing game (RPG) saw an aggregate 82 score on Metacritic and 83 on Opencritic from critics globally, and it had more than 6,500 player reviews on Steam ranking the game as 88% “Very Positive.”
Rockfish Games said the launch has surpassed its financial targets. Comparing launch weeks, Everspace 2 has sold twice the copies and brought in more than three and a half times the revenue as the first title in the series without any indication of losing sales from the title being available on Xbox Game Pass for PC as Game Preview. This sequel saw seven times more pilots in the cockpit during launch week than its predecessor, hitting a high of close to 10,000 concurrent players.
