The hardcore shooter finds its largest audience on Xbox
Gaijin Entertainment announces that Active Matter has surpassed 500,000 copies sold worldwide across PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The figure combines sales on Steam and Gaijin.Net with console versions of the game, with Xbox currently representing the largest share of Active Matter players.
Released in September, Active Matter is a PvE, PvPvE and PvP hardcore shooter that combines realistic modern military combat with supernatural threats, anomalous environments and high-stakes raids where players have to decide how much gear they are willing to risk to lose. Players can venture into quantum-unstable zones solo or as part of a team, fighting hostile operatives, terrifying creatures and the environment itself while searching for valuable loot.
“Half a million copies is a very strong result for a hardcore game like ours,” said Anton Yudintsev, co-founder of Gaijin Entertainment. “What is especially encouraging is that sales have remained remarkably steady since launch, without the sharp opening-week spike that is typical for many premium games. This kind of long-tail performance is much more characteristic of hardcore titles, which tend to grow through word of mouth and a committed community. It shows us that there is a substantial audience looking for this kind of experience, and Active Matter is only at the beginning of its journey. We are looking forward to expanding the game with new content and features over the coming years.”
The next major step in that journey arrives later this year, when Active Matter will receive its first major post-release content update. It will introduce new maps, weapons, monsters and bosses, giving players new threats to face. The update will also bring visual improvements, further enhancing the atmosphere of the Active Matter world.
More details about the next major update will be revealed soon on the official Active Matter website.
