Sea of Stars: An Indie RPG Success Story
Sabotage Studios, the developer behind the indie RPG Sea of Stars, has recently announced that the game has reached a remarkable milestone. Since its launch in August, Sea of Stars has garnered an impressive player count of 4 million across multiple platforms. This includes both major subscription services, PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass, as the game was released on both platforms. The timing couldn’t have been better as Sea of Stars was also crowned Best Indie at this year’s Game Awards, further cementing its success.
A Thriving Player Base
Sea of Stars achieved this impressive player count across various platforms, including PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, in addition to the subscription services. While specific sales figures were not disclosed by Sabotage, the significant player base suggests that the game has resonated well with gamers.
The Dedication Behind Sea of Stars
Thierry Boulanger, director of Sea of Stars and co-founder of Sabotage, expressed his gratitude towards the talented team behind the game. He praised their dedication and highlighted their ongoing work on the upcoming DLC, Throes of the Watchmaker. Boulanger also acknowledged the game’s success in the highly competitive RPG landscape of the late 2023 release window and thanked the fans for their support.
Looking Ahead: Throes of the Watchmaker
One of the exciting developments for Sea of Stars is the highly anticipated DLC, Throes of the Watchmaker. Originally introduced as a stretch goal during the game’s Kickstarter campaign, this additional content does not yet have an official release date. However, the development team at Sabotage is hard at work creating an engaging experience for players.
Coming to Physical Consoles
In addition to its digital success, Sea of Stars is also set to launch on physical consoles. Sabotage has partnered with iam8bit to release physical copies of the game on consoles in 2024, allowing players to enjoy the RPG in a tangible format.
As Sabotage celebrates the milestone of 4 million players and the recognition received at The Game Awards, they eagerly await opportunities to surprise and delight fans with future developments for Sea of Stars.
