Lethal Company - The underdog that surpassed the giants

Lethal Company - Unknown Game Becomes a Steam Bestseller

Until recently, "Lethal Company" was not a familiar name to many gamers. As a fan of League of Legends and not particularly fond of party games like Among Us or Rust, I had little exposure to this genre. However, the enthusiasm of my colleagues and impressive statistics on Steam have caught my attention.

"Lethal Company" is a survival horror game where you explore distant planets and collect resources with your team of four. However, survival on these planets is anything but easy - filled with quicksand, bottomless pits, and monsters that will keep you up at night.

An Indie Game Stands Out

"Lethal Company" has managed to surpass the player numbers of multiplayer giants like Dead by Daylight and Phasmophobia. It is currently the best-selling product on Steam, even ahead of Valve's portable Steam Deck. And this is true both on the global bestseller list and the US-exclusive list - an impressive achievement.

The game is surpassing established titles like Counter-Strike 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and Red Dead Redemption 2, even though these are heavily discounted during the latest Steam sale. For an indie game, which by the way was created by just one developer, this is an impressive feat.

The Power of Indie Games

In 2023, we have already witnessed indie games taking over the charts. "Dredge" reached the milestone of one million downloads, and "Sea of Stars" sold 100k copies in a single day. And now "Lethal Company" joins these surprise hits. Despite big releases like Starfield, Diablo 4, and Baldur's Gate 3, none of these triple-A games could captivate players' interest as sustainably as "Lethal Company".
