Dead Island 2 Reaches Ten Million Players

Deep Silver has announced that Dead Island 2 has reached a record-breaking ten million players. The game, which was released in April 2023, managed to reach this huge goal in about a year and a half. Especially the release of Dead Island 2 Ultimate Edition contributed to the game reaching this important milestone.

Dead Island 2 Breaks the Ten Million Player Record

While the ten million player milestone for Dead Island 2 is an important milestone for Deep Silver, it represents player access, not sales. Because the game is available on the Game Pass platform, many players are accessing the game through this platform rather than buying it outright. Therefore, it’s debatable whether this record is a major commercial success.

The fact that the game sold one million copies in the first three days of its release shows that Dead Island 2 attracted a lot of attention in the early days. However, Deep Silver has not made any new statements about the sales figures since then.

Dead Island 2 was particularly praised for its PC performance and stood out as one of the best optimized PC games of 2023. The developers made the game look gorgeous by using successful optimization techniques to deliver a visually impressive and fluid gameplay experience.

Deep Silver has stated that it plans to offer free trials on Xbox and PlayStation platforms. However, no announcement has yet been made about a free trial for PC users.
