Lies of P Achieves Significant Sales Milestone

Alright, so here’s what’s going on with Lies of P, right? The game came out and somehow, almost two years later, it’s hit this crazy milestone of selling over three million copies. I mean, it took its sweet time getting there, but hey, good things come to those who wait. Or maybe they just got lucky with timing. Anyway, this happened not long after they dropped a surprise DLC on June 6, 2025. Surprise! It’s like, “Boom, here’s new content,” and fans went wild for it.

Now, Neowiz, that South Korean developer everybody’s talking about, decided to put a dark twist on the old Pinocchio story with Lies of P when it first came out in 2023. And despite the fact it was on Xbox Game Pass from day one — which you’d think might hurt sales a bit, right? — it actually moved a million copies in just one month. Not too shabby! Then February 2025 rolled around, and they announced this Lies of P: Overture expansion, which everybody seems to love. Honestly, sometimes it feels like they accidentally struck gold.

Tangentially, and pardon this little side rant, but is it weird to anyone else that the DLCs make things more complicated? It’s like old Soulslike traditions where accessing them is like solving a puzzle. Can we just streamline that? Or am I just whining? Anyway, the new DLC seems to have reignited the whole thing and propelled the game into this major sales achievement.

Somewhere amidst all this excitement, Lies of P let slip that they smashed past three million sales — like a gentle reminder of success — nearly two years after launching in September 2023. They already hit the million mark the very next month after release, October 2023, if I’m remembering right, which is impressive. But they’ve been on Game Pass the whole time, so actual player numbers versus sales… well, they’re two different stories. Supposedly, there are about seven million players as of March. Numbers can be tricky, huh?

Now, it’s no coincidence all this happened just after the new DLC came out. Lies of P: Overture brought a ton of new content and, wham, the player count on Steam reached new highs. Over 30,000 people playing at the same time — like some kind of virtual block party. Maybe those discounts on the Steam version helped too? Half off and everyone jumps in, like seagulls on a chip.

And not to forget, the devs at Neowiz aren’t just sitting around basking in their glory. They’re already working on a Lies of P sequel. Seems like they started the day the first one launched, practically. They’re saying it’ll come out around the fiscal year 2026. So, April 2026 to March 2027, if we’re getting technical. I mean, who can even plan that far ahead?

So, that’s the run-down. Lies of P — this unexpected hit, selling like hotcakes on a chilly morning, and now onto bigger things. Life’s funny like that.
