Steam Hit Content Warning Reaches 2.2 Million Sold After 2 Months

Steam viral hit game Content Warning has sold 2.2 million copies in two months, with a console version possibly waiting in the wings.

That’s up from the one million sold in mid-April, itself an impressive figure that came after an eye-catching free launch period.

Publisher Landfall released Content Warning for free for the first 24 hours, signaling that it planned to charge for the game after the launch period. The Lethal Company-style co-op survival horror saw an impressive peak concurrent player number of 204,439 on Valve’s platform off the back of the promotion, but some questioned whether it would prove successful in the long run.

Landfall said this week that over 8.8 million players own Content Warning on Steam two months after launch. 6.6 million players got the game for free on launch day, Landfall explained. There was also a tease for a console version in response to a user question on X/Twitter, although an announcement has yet to be made.

It’s a remarkable success for Content Warning, which was developed by just a handful of people and released on April 1 as part of Landfall’s tradition of releasing a game on April Fools’ Day.
