Indie puzzler Blue Prince surpasses 2 million total players

Earlier this year, the indie puzzler Blue Prince released to a great deal of attention and a ton of praise, going on to become the second highest rated game of 2025 with a Metacritic score of 92. Despite its relative inaccessibility as a highly complex puzzle game, Blue Prince has now officially surpassed 2 million total players.

In a recent talk discussing the development of Blue Prince, the game’s Art Director Davide Pellino revealed that the universally acclaimed puzzler has been experienced by over 2 million players worldwide since its release back in April.

It is worth noting that 2 million players does not equate to 2 million copies sold, especially as Blue Prince was made available day-one across both Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra.

Still, for a highly niche debut title from a relatively new indie studio, Blue Prince’s success is certainly worth celebrating. It will be interesting to see what the team at Dogubomb plan to work on next.

Blue Prince is a first-person rogue-like puzzler in which you must “navigate through shifting corridors and ever-changing chambers” in an attempt to locate and gain access to the mysterious Room 46.
