Windrose hits 1 million sales in just one week

There seems to be a new hit survival game popping up on Steam each year. 2026 is no different, with Windrose being an early contender for breakout early access hit of the year. 

In an update shared on its Steam community page, the Windrose developers shared that the game has sold over 1 million copies during its first week. The game has also achieved an impressive concurrent player count of 200,000 players at its peak.

This is obviously a great start for a multiplayer game, especially an early access title. Now, we will have to wait and see if the studio can maintain this momentum with future updates.

For those who don't know, Windrose is a pirate-themed survival game, where players team up to explore, find treasure, build bases, engage in naval warfare and more. The game currently has a very positive user score, based on tens of thousands of individual reviews on Steam.
