New indie hit reaches 1 million sales on Steam

Tenstack has announced that its cooperative title, Gamble With Your Friends, has sold one million copies within its first week of release. The game, which launched on May 1st, surpassed the 500,000-unit mark by May 4th, then reached the one-million milestone.

The title features a cooperative premise in which up to six players attempt to earn virtual currency within a five-minute window to repay an in-game loan shark. Gameplay involves various virtual casino activities, including blackjack and roulette. The game utilises virtual currency only, with no real-world money involved in the gameplay mechanics.

According to a developer statement on Reddit, the game's commercial performance is attributed to streamer engagement and effective marketing. The project was developed in under 9 months and underwent a full reboot during development to focus on the gambling-themed cooperative loop.

The sales figures place the title's opening-week performance on par with recent major releases, such as Capcom's Pragmata. Something that might have contributed to the game's success is that Tenstack priced the title at £6.69/€7.79/$7.99 on Steam.
