Over Five Million Frostpunk Units Sold in six Years

Survival city builder Frostpunk has been a huge success for 11 bit studios, selling five million units in six years. The sequel, due out in July, is already on more than two million Steam wishlists.

On the sixth anniversary of Frostpunk's release, 11 bit studios have announced that the game has sold over five million units across all platforms. The three million mark was broken within three years, with the Polish company reporting over 1.4 million units sold after one year. The developers also revealed the following data: "Around 3% of the players have over 100 hours on their record. On average, people play the game for 24 hours. More than half managed to save every person in Frostland playing The New Home scenario. (...) The rarest achievement, unlocked by only 0.6% of Steam players is "Endless slave driver". It's unlocked when you make all other settlements distrustful towards you in Endless Mode."

On 25 July 2024, Frostpunk 2 will be released. The city-survival game, set 30 years after an apocalyptic blizzard devastated the Earth, is on over two million wishlists on Steam. It is the fifth most requested game on the platform, behind Manor Lords, Hades II, Black Myth: Wukong and Hollow Knight: Silksong, but ahead of STALKER 2 and ARK 2.

11 bit studios will also release The Alters this year, a sci-fi game with a mix of adventure, survival and base-building elements, in which the protagonist creates alternative versions of himself in a desperate attempt to escape from a planet. In early May, the studio will publish Indika, developed by Odd Meter, a third-person story game set in an alternate Russia at the turn of the 19th century, where religious visions collide with harsh reality.
