Probably Stolen — the cyberpunk pawn shop sim from Questing Goose Studio — sold 200,000 copies in its first few hours on sale, according to its publisher tinyBuild.
The figures come from a launch-day Steam post, published at 5:30am AEDT on Thursday, by our conversion. It lists “86,000+ peak concurrent players”, reached within 90 minutes of launch.
The same post puts the game at 95% positive reviews, from 400+ reviews at the time of writing, and at #2 in Steam’s Global Top Sellers. Those are tinyBuild’s numbers and have not been checked against Steam’s own charts here.
“Many of you have been here since the first closed playtests and we are eternally grateful for your playtest and demo feedback,” the post says. It also points to “several dozens of mods” already on the Steam Workshop.
The studio has kept patching while the numbers came in. Hotfix 1.0.0.1 means reporting Lou to Security no longer lowers your Black Market reputation, and it fixes items in a Smuggler Bay being confiscated during inspections.
The second hotfix, 1.0.0.2, is about water. The Water Purifier has been reworked, the Moisture Farm drops from 650 to 350, the Water Filter from 50 to 25, and Dr. Jackson’s markup on Normal falls from 25% to 15%. Lou can also no longer be shot during any of her visits.
The Australian Steam store has the game at A$22.49 — 10% off its A$24.99 price — and it was third on Steam’s Australian top sellers list early on Friday morning.
The launch itself, with its nine starting scenarios, was in our opening-day story on Thursday. Any further fixes will go up on the game’s Steam news page — where both of this week’s hotfixes were posted.
