After spending over two years in early access, Core Keeper launched in full for PC and current-gen consoles last month, and given how well it has been received, and how well it did over the course of its extended early access period, it’s no surprise that the game has got off to an impressive start.
Taking to Twitter, Core Keeper developer Pugstorm has announced that the sandbox survival title has surpassed 3 million players. In November last year, while the game was still in early access, it was announced that it had sold 2 million copies. Following its console release, the game also became available via Game Pass, which is why Pugstorm and Fireshine Games are now reporting player numbers rather than sales. Either way, Core Keeper is continuing to attract a sizeable audience.
In our review of Core Keeper, we awarded it a score of 8/10, saying, “While the likes of Terraria and Valheim continue to hog headlines, Core Keeper offers strong competition. Its compelling gameplay, excellent art style, and extensive range of content make it worth diving in.” Read the full review through here.
Core Keeper is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, and launches for PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch tomorrow, on September 17.
