Breakout Success: Roadcraft Becomes One of Publisher’s Top Launches

Sure, let’s dive right into this dogpile of words. So, Saber Interactive, right? They’ve been cranking out these simulation games like Mudrunner and Snowrunner. It’s kinda like they’ve got this perpetual need for more mud, snow, and — whatever else they’re doing in these games. But hey, who am I to judge?

Anyway, the latest one — Roadcraft. Yeah, that’s its name. It came out last month and it’s this kinda weird mashup of building stuff and driving over, I dunno, probably more mud. People seem to love it, though. Focus Entertainment, which puts these things out, is all like, “Wow, this is one of our best launches,” which is, y’know, kind of a big deal.

Ed — he’s this guy who reviews games — said something about it being a pretty good argument that you can make a game about anything, really. Like, who knew playing in virtual dirt could be this fun? It’s got this reward system that, according to Ed, beats even the most jam-packed RPGs out there. Crazy, right?

So, the game’s doing well. On launch day, players were pouring in on Steam like ants to a picnic. And apparently, even the bigwigs at Pullup Entertainment, like Geoffroy Sardin (fancy name, huh?), are patting each other on the back for Roadcraft’s numbers. Over 600,000 unique players. That’s enough people to fill, what, ten football stadiums? Maybe I’m bad at math.

They even have a YouTube thingy with a thumbnail looking all enticing if you’re into that sorta thing. And, if you wanna try it out, you can wishlist it or snag it on Steam. Or not. I mean, I’ve been sidetracked before. Maybe get lost watching a cat video instead. Your choice.

If you’re into other sandbox or building games, they’ve got lists for that too. And then there’s this Discord server where you can geek out about it with other fans, or just lurk. I guess that’s it. This messy, quirky dig into the muddy world of simulation games. Who knew, right?
