Ghostrunner sought to provide a fast-paced parkour experience mixed with combat, appealing to gamers who were fond of perfecting their skills to complete each level in the shortest time possible.
The satisfying gameplay and addicting loop of trial-and-error for the best runs ensured that Ghostrunner quickly became popular. Following its 2020 release, the game has remained popular and reached millions of new players recently.
Ghostrunner has sold over 2.5 million units to date.
Why it matters: Ghostrunner is a challenging game and encourages experimentation. This aspect also pushed many players away, but it appears to have found millions of fans due to its positive qualities.
The studio behind Ghostrunner, One More Level, made a Steam community post announcing the latest sales milestone.
One More Level wanted to announce the milestone when Ghostrunner reached 2 million sales, but the recent buzz around the franchise allowed the first game to quickly reach over 2.5 million sales.
The community post acknowledged the excitement for the recently announced Ghostrunner 2, and the anticipation for the sequel also leads the studio to believe that another milestone with 3 million sales is right around the corner.
The upcoming sequel is expected to bring a major evolution of the popular mechanics from the first game.
Ghostrunner 2 keeps the challenging but exhilarating combat and parkour from the first game, adding new types of enemies and tricks for players to experiment with.
Ghostrunner 2 is confirmed for an October 26 release date, becoming one of the many exciting games slated for a release next month.
The latest sales milestone ahead of launch confirms that millions of players are awaiting this release, and the sequel may go on to become the studio’s most successful release to date.
