Fatshark today announced that Warhammer: Vermintide 2 has surpassed one million units sold within five weeks after being released on PC.
Martin Wahlund, Fatshark’s CEO, said:
“We are genuinely humbled by the reception of Warhammer: Vermintide 2 from gamers all over the world. We reached half a million units within the first week, and one million within five weeks, which is far quicker than we ever expected.”
Vermintide 2 is described as a visually stunning and ground breaking melee action game pushing the boundaries of the first person co-op genre. Set during the apocalyptic End Times of the Warhammer world – the game introduces the dark, bloody and twisted forces of Chaos as an enemy faction. Other new features include 15 hero careers, new environments, talent trees and the proprietary Heroic Deeds System.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

What if Fatshark made a 40K version of this game…
That would be awesome actually. I have faith in these guys. V1 and V2 are both amazing coop games so a 40K version of this would probably be really good. It would kick the teeth out of Space Hulk Deathwing thats for sure
So while Switch owners gloat about making more revenue from an indie game, PC makes more revenue from a AAA game in less than 2 weeks, that actually topples the original game’s lifetime revenue. Then it tops 1m in 5 weeks.
So yeah, you can still make money on PC these days, contrary to Switch and other console fanboys.
