Cozy Game Reaches Another Impressive Sales Milestone

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, huh? Over 800k copies gone worldwide in, like, 12 days. What’s up with that? Anyway, some sequel thing to a game from 2012. Crazy, right? Developers are hoping to hit 1 million sales by June 30. Maybe it’ll happen. Or not. Who knows.

So, this game — cozy vibes, for sure. Fantasy Life i hit over 800,000 sales after dropping on May 21. It’s a life simulator deal, hanging out on Switch, PC, PS5, PS4, and Xbox Series X/S. Yeah, pretty much everywhere. Level-5 made it, Nintendo published it. Bit of teamwork there.

These late sequels, kind of wild how they pop up, isn’t it? Fantasy Life i showed up almost 13 years after the first game. Was just on Nintendo 3DS back then, and only in Japan to start. Now, boom — global launch, multiple platforms. Casting a wide net. Sorta makes sense why it’s selling strong, right?

On Twitter — because where else do you brag about sales? — the game’s account shared it breezed past the 800k mark globally. Just 12 days after dropping on PC and consoles. Not bad, huh? Developers are all optimistic, thinking they’ll crack a million by June’s end. If they do, that’s a million in just a bit over a month. Pretty sweet for a niche game back on the scene after all this time.

Oh! Here’s a twist — in May, it sold about half a million in just three days! That’s like 150k each day. But adding another 300k took a bit longer. Slowdown, y’know? Happens with games. But here’s the kicker — it’s close to the lifetime sales of the original from 2012, which did 1.11 million by December 2022. Stats from the 2023 CESA Games White Paper, or so they say. I didn’t check myself.

Heads up, though: Expect a sales surge soon. The game’s hitting Switch 2 on June 5. Launch title, baby! Maybe it’ll smash that million target after all. Or maybe not. So many ‘maybes,’ right? Time will tell.
