Last December, the game SteamWorld Build was released. Players have been waiting for a long time for a new project in the popular SteamWorld series. The previous game in the series (SteamWorld Quest) was released in 2019. However, the new product sold worse than the publisher expected.
According to a report from publisher Thunderful, the SteamWorld Build strategy did not show the best sales results. The publisher's forecasts for the game were higher. The report does not specify how many copies were sold. The game itself was released on all current platforms: Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Switch and PC.
Immediately after its release, SteamWorld Build became part of the Game Pass subscription, but the publisher's report does not indicate any data on the success of the project in the subscription.
Note that the game SteamWorld Build received rather restrained reviews from players and critics. The developers were praised for a bold experiment for the series, but noted problems with gameplay mechanics, the short duration of the story campaign and a number of technical problems.
