Techland released Dying Light 2 on PC last week and according to SteamSpy, the game has already sold one million copies on Steam. The game also currently has Very Positive reviews on Steam, so we can expect it to hit the 2 million goal in the next couple of weeks.
As we’ve already said, SteamSpy only shows estimates for a game’s sales (based on the number of players who own it). Also note that SteamSpy only tracks public profiles, meaning that those with private profiles (that own the game) are not counted. Therefore, and theoretically, the actual PC sales may be higher than two million. Let’s also not forget that God of War is available via other PC digital services, like Epic Games Store.
It’s also worth noting that Techland has addressed some of the technical issues we’ve reported. For instance, DLSS is now great and we highly recommend using it. However, Techland hasn’t still implemented an Ultra Quality mode for AMD FSR. Thankfully, for non-RTX owners, you can easily enable it via our guide.
As we wrote in our PC Performance Analysis, Dying Light 2 can run on a wide range of PC configurations at 1080p. However, and once you increase the internal resolution, you may encounter some performance issues. Since DLSS now works properly (and AMD FSR Ultra Quality also looks great), we suggest enabling them for gaming at 1440p or 4K.
Stay tuned for more!

It’s sad to see how people keeps fomenting bad attitudes from this doomed industry.
Downgrade, poor performance, shady Denuvo implementantion….
Go on, keep giving money to this people, thing will surely get better that way
Game´s fine, just a little cut off after Avelone was fired from the project.
You can always wait until Denuvo is removed. Until then the price will have dropped to half the price and half or more of the issues will have been fixed.
Publishers only speak one language. Money. They will only hear if their profits are cut but gamers complaining about poor performance on websites and pre-ordering or buying on release before the game is patched and polished then Publishers don’t hear the complaints generally.
Vote with your wallet people. Publishers will hear that loud and clear.
Just like those money no brains 3090 owners. They ruined the ecosystem. Now we can expect RTX4060 at $899.
6900 xtx-h owners fall into that category.. i am expecting the 7950xtx to ber 2.5 k euro
Only an ignorant moron would tout that downgrade garbage. Poor performance is an outright lie, so once again the depth of your stupidity is on display for all. Denuvo is another matter, but not the fault of the developer. I know being a idiot saying moronic crap is expected from the pedo brigade that John the git loves so much but maybe try to use that p*rn filled mush in your head before posting
Well look at Ubisoft for example, they just updated Assassin’s Creed Origins to newer version of DENUVO that works with the new Intel processors. This was 3 days ago. Instead of removing DENUVO on a 5 year old game, they up’d it. Now, why would they do that on a 5+ year old game that’s been cracked 6 ways come Sunday?
Ubisoft is a strange Publisher indeed. They don’t make sense sometimes. I remember back in 2012 when the CEO said that 95% of PC gamers were pirating their games. The following year the CEO said that he wanted to work more closely with PC gamers to give them what they want.
So why in the world would he want to work more closely with PC gamers to give them what they want when he believed that the vast majority of PC gamers were pirates?
Come on man, you’re usually sensible
Poor performance? The game runs great with a 3080 and a decade old 3770k maxed out at 1440p.
Stop buying AAA games, easy.
Asking this again …..what’s so appealing about the “Post Apocalyptic”, “Open World ” , “Zombie” games…..really curious to know from the players who still get “fun” out of these games…
Maybe stop asking stupid questions and just let people enjoy what they want and you do the same.
I am allowed to ask questions out of curiosity ? what makes you think my question is stupid ?
1940’s Germany, 2022 Canada & 2022 Australia would love you bro. It’s damn near an art how you shut people up.
same as plandemic, you got the idea.
Lets not get into that rabbit hole here bud ……let the sheeple be comfortably numb !
Some people legit liked the “new normal” and use fear mongering to maintain restrictions, there’s also the money factor from some corporations.
Graphics & Shiny. Nothing else really, these games are dull single player MMO’s. People enjoy what they enjoy man. I stop trying to understand this long ago.
agree man …
People enjoy zombie games because… graphics? There are zombie games with basic graphics you know?
Can’t be the graphics, the graphics are bad. That leaves only the skinnerbox “gameplay”.
Are you talking about the genre or the over saturation of media with these themes?
yes…
Because most people don’t go out of their way to consume every piece of media with zombies and post apocalipse scenarios? Just because i played the first DL game doesn’t mean i play all the other games related.
ok..
Hope that clears things for you.
it didn’t but …thanks !
You literally agreed with a random dumb poster answering your question about zombie games being popular due to shiny graphics, lol.
Please move on …
Nah i like to hammer people’s stupidity as long as they reply.
What’s so appealing about anime if you’re not a sexual deviant?
You assumed that just by profile pic ?
nice projection btw man !….
Don’t act surprised when a stupid post gets a stupid reply.
Lol . ok
So you are the least surprised poster on this site. Also first time i see you post anything not related to Latex.
I love chopping heads off things and seeing them still walk around and no i didn’t buy this but i can play that all effing day long
Days Gone was huge fun if you disregard the woke bullsh*t narrative. Post Apocalyptic Open World is one of the best settings for a game, if implemented right weebio. I guess nips only make games in elementary school settings so you wouldn’t know
ok MF
You really need to stop with the recent steamspy articles. The game sold much more than a mere million, when the game had 275K CC users for almost a full week. Thats in excess of 2 million sales. Gof of War with its paltry 70k users we just had articles how it passed 2 million, no ?
i am a patreon…steamspy numbers are pretty decent compared to other places….the logic is steam peak numbers x 8 and u get ur sales…which sounds about accurate….steamspy only supports this theory. so this game has sold about 1.7 million copies, when its updated next week, itll be at 2million probably. consider the refunds, and give or take a 5% margin error in steamspys algorythim.
I mean, 275k times 8 is 2.2 million. Also, some games peak faster than others than drop. This game peaked about a a week into its life and maintains a large number to this day.
There is a more accurate, in my opinion, alternative with many usefull estimations and stats – gaminganalytics.info.
Hey John. You let racist, sexist, and homophobic tirades in here, but when someone calls out one of your moronic incel pr*cks you moderate that. Good to know you’re a complete piece of gutter trash who just loves to protect his little s*x offender brigade.
are you sure you didn’t just use a word that disqus rejects automatically? lol at the list of “-ist” terms. it’s like you just came from the twitter bluehair factory. the new SJW series 5 is here and it’s got that new SJW smell, buy now.
Steamspy has not been accurate for a long time.
not true at all. if u pay for it u get ur numbers. its new algorithm is actualoly pretty good but only paying you can see it. its at 1.7 million copies sold.
Why would you pay just to see how many copies a game sold?
Cause I can. I make money. Am not a poor a*s ni**er who pirates games. I can afford whatever I want. I make 2k a month on ethereum alone plus my job at real estate and the judicial system. So why not f*ck off with such re**rded a*s questions u f*g.
Excessive disposable income I guess
Maybe someone who wants to make games and needs to decide on what sells best according to his game making capabilities, but if it is just as gossip fodder, err no.
Undeserved.
Xbox xpats to be more like it. After Don Mattrick, a lot of them flooded to the PC almost a decade ago when the xbone was announced. Steam to them it’s heaven, they don’t care to know anything else. Steam is God, to them…
john, its actually at 1.7 million copies sold according to steamspy…i am a patreon..i cvan gvive you numbers whenver you want.
I sure hope the people who cry about ubisoft style sandbox or denuvo drm don’t overlap with people paying for this derivative game.
People were already complaining about Denuvo over on the Steam forums, but got shot down en mass by the fanboys.
I called out some bozos that bought the game around these parts.
Never underestimate the fanboyism. They are a deadly bunch. They move like a virus with no cure insight.
They are pretty much the very ruination that’s happening all around this industry, and they won’t care until it’s far too late.
This is the last time they can capitalize on past success (Dying Light 2015) Their next game after this one will have to stand on its own, and it will be a spectacular flop
Dying Light 1 was definitely a fluke/one hit wonder for the studio. Dying Light 2 was on the same page as it’s earlier games
Previous Techland games are awesome and better than DL1.
I finished it last night. It’s ok. Went downhill halfway. I wouldn’t play it again. Pretty forgettable lifeless game on the same page as the Deadly Island games.
How would you compare it with the original Dying Light?
Original Dying Light = 9
Dying Light 2 = 7
Sh*t it started lifeless for me, if it’s going downhill might as well not continue
Thanks for the money! More unoptimized, downgraded Denuvo games coming your way!
I don’t see Latex here, I am surprise and little disappointed.
