The Original Life is Strange Game Had Over 20 Million Players
Developer Don’t Nod’s supernaturally-infused episodic adventure title Life is Strange has surpassed 20 million lifetime players since its launch in January 2015.
“Happy Thanksgiving everyone!” read a post from the game’s official account on X / Twitter. “Something we are very grateful for - the original Life is Strange has hit over 20 million players! We want to thank each and every one of you for playing!”
Life is Strange explores the emotionally charged and often disturbing eposodic journey of supernaturally gifted protagonist Maxine ‘Max’ Caulfield, who uses her ability to manipulate time and alter past events to unravel the secrets surrounding the Oregon townsfolk of Arcadia Bay.
“20 millions players,” said Life is Strange co-creator Michel Koch in an X post responding to the milestone. “This is crazy. Never back then, when we were creating Max and Chloe, imagining Arcadia Bay, writing their stories, never would have I dreamed 20 millions persons would meet them and spend time with them! Thanks to all of you!”
The franchise has since graced near every modern-era console under the sun, with its enduring popularity spawning multiple sequels and standalone stories. Last year also saw the release of the Life is Strange Remastered Collection (and the Arcadia Bay Collection on Switch), which included enhanced versions of the original 2015 game, and the prequel title Life is Strange: Before the Storm.
20 millions players!
