If you've wondered how much money two of the recent most successful games made, we've got some data for you.
According to the latest report published by Simon Carless, since its release on January 19, 2024, Palworld has managed to make over $442 million gross LTD (life-to-date), which is a staggering number for a game, whose weapon animations were crafted by a self-taught 20-year-old artist with no prior industry experience.
Speaking of another hit shooter, Helldivers 2, which was released on February 8, 2024, the game has made over $210 million gross LTD. I bet we could see a bigger number if some studios weren't trying to capitalize on Arrowhead's title.
Here are some other games released in 2024 with impressive results: Enshrouded earned over $42.6 million and New Cycle – $1.4 million.
Carless also mentioned that Supermarket Simulator, Pacific Drive, Balatro, and Nightingale have shown promising results, they are in "the $2.5m to $10m gross range," without sharing the exact gross amount for each title.
