Unexpected Success: Roadcraft Becomes One of the Publisher’s Best Launches Ever

Sure thing, let’s dive in. So, Saber Interactive, they’re the brains behind those off-road sim games, right? The Runner series? If you’ve been living under a rock, lemme catch you up: We’re talking Mudrunner in 2017, then Snowrunner, and, uh, some expedition thing. Each time, they crank it up a notch on the whole realistic-vehicle-off-roading-and-transportation vibe. I guess they nailed it this time with Roadcraft. Just dropped last month. Picture this: detail like never before mixed with construction stuff — bingo, that’s Roadcraft for ya. And guess what? Apparently, the publishing bigwigs at Focus Entertainment are loving it. Called it one of their “most successful launches.” Sweet, right?

Now, in case you’re wondering, Ed (our resident game guru), totally vibed with it. And I quote: it’s like convincing proof that even the most niche topics can morph into epic games. You got construction mechanics jam-packed with narrative bits that make rewards feel extra special. Like, RPGs and shooters might not give you this kinda thrill. Crazy, huh?

And yeah, people are buzzing about it. Steam was on fire during launch day. Plus, Roadcraft? Knocked it outta the park for Focus Entertainment’s parent folks as well. Earlier today (or yesterday, maybe?), Pullup Entertainment Group spilled the beans in an earnings report. “Better-than-expected performance.” Boom! Over 600,000 unique players. Dang.

Pullup’s top guy, Geoffroy Sardin, wasn’t holding back. Called the early Roadcraft weeks “some of the best launches” they’ve seen. So yeah, go Roadcraft!

By the way, if you wanna try Roadcraft, wishlist it or grab it on Steam. Or maybe you’re more into other sandbox or building games? We’ve got tons of suggestions.
