Mewgenics has sold 1 million copies in its launch week

Mewgenics, the “cat breeding magnum opus” from Edmund McMillen, creator of Binding of Isaac, and Tyler Glaiel, creator of The End is Nigh, has achieved a massive commercial milestone. It has sold over 1 million copies in just 7 days since its launch on PC, Mewgenics has become the first indie success of the year.

The news was brought to us by one of the creators via X.com. Player engagement for the tactical roguelike has also been quite good, according to SteamDB, reaching an all-time high of 115,428 concurrent players on February 15th. This figure surpasses the peak of 112,947 concurrent players set by the previous genre leader, Hades 2, officially making Mewgenics the most-played roguelite in Steam's history. Currently, the game sits at a 92% Steam review score with over 20K reviews.

Tyler Glaiel also posted other fun stats about Mewgenics, stating that the game had around 400k wishlists before reviews came out. However, that number increased considerably after reviews began to be published, reaching 600K.

As of now, the game is available on Steam with a 10% launch discount, bringing the price down to £22.49/$26.99/€26.09 from its standard £24.99/$29.99/€28.99. This promotional offer ends on February 24th, after which the game will return to its full retail price.
