Firewatch Has Sold One Million Copies
Shortly after Firewatch's initial release last February, we learned that the narrative-driven indie game sold 500,000 copies in its first month. Today, developer Campo Santo has announced that the game hit its next major milestone.
Before the end of 2016, Firewatch hit one million copies sold. The good news comes via a tweet from Campo Santo:
Sometime late last year we sold our one millionth copy of Firewatch. Thank you all so much! pic.twitter.com/7LSTqWuU8Q

Our Take
I think Firewatch is a memorable and unique experience worth checking out. Even though it left me wanting more in some ways, I'm glad I played it, and I'm happy to see that it's finding an audience.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
