Atomfall Surpasses 2 Million Players in Its First Month

Rebellion, the publisher and developer of Atomfall, has revealed that their post-apocalyptic adventure, set in the British countryside, has surpassed a major milestone. The game has reached over 2 million players in its first month out, an impressive number for a new game. The developers also revealed some intriguing stats from within the game that provide a snapshot of player engagement as it stands with Atomfall.

Atomfall Reaches 2 Million Players in First Month, with Surprising Stats and Achievements

Noteworthy among them: players have slain more than 5.9 million enemies with cricket bats, which showcase the game’s quirky take on combat. Additionally, more than 250,000 pints of beer have been ordered in-game, while 500,000 cups of tea have been consumed in an homage to the British way of life. A rather unusual statistic shows that players have been killed over 420,000 times by swarms of rats, which adds a humorous and challenging aspect to the gameplay.

Also, Atomfall players apparently can’t get enough of food, with the “tin of meat” being the game’s top food item consumed, with more than 14.1 million tins eaten. The game’s popularity has been clear since its launch; it quickly exceeded 1.5 million players in its first weekend. It seems clear, given that it had more than 2 million players in its first month, that Atomfall strikes a chord with a lot of players. Much of that is thanks to its Xbox Game Pass availability at launch, which granted the game immediate access to a huge player base.

The game’s success comes at an interesting time, with Atomfall joining Fallout: London, released just the year before, in taking the post-apocalyptic genre outside the United States. The growing trend of setting post-nuclear adventure games in different parts of the world may signal a shift towards more diverse backdrops for this genre, offering fresh narratives and perspectives.
