The surprise April Fool’s Day release of Content Warning from indie studio Landfall claimed more than 6 million Steam users in just 24 hours.
The publisher of this party game has announced this major milestone in an update post on his Steam page with over 6.2 million players already adding the Lethal Company-like game to their profiles. The team was able to move so many copies thanks to the fact that Content Warning they might keep you for free, who were able to apply for a copy within the 24-hour window. Despite the lack of prior notice, Content Warning’s success is staggering.
For those who may have stayed away from the internet on April Fool’s Day, Content Warning is a game where you and up to three friends grab handheld video cameras and try to capture hilarious and spooky moments. All in the name of content that creates the perfect environment for chaos. This formula also seems to work because according to SteamDB the game reached a peak of 204,439 concurrent players, with more than 138,000 playing at the time of this article.
“Watching all of your videos has been a real treat for us, and we’re so happy that we’ve been able to create something that makes people have fun together,” said Landfall.
Content Warning’s one-day free offer has now ended. However, those who missed this offer can still download a copy for just €7.79 on Steam.
Landfall’s move to give away their new project to so many people for free makes a lot of sense. With over 6 million players already making videos, it’s much more likely that we’ll see viral clips from Content Warning reaching all corners of the internet.
As the developers prepare for future updates, there are a few early issues they are looking into. These include voice issues, connection issues, footage not extracting, and camera footage not being visible. Fortunately, Landfall says it has clues to many of these complaints and plans to ship some fixes later today.
