Windrose sails past 1 million copies sold as player counts surge

Windrose, Kraken Express’s pirate survival game, has sold over 1 million copies and drawn roughly 200,000 concurrent players within six days of its early access launch. The title, originally planned as a free-to-play MMO, pivoted to a premium experience for 1–4 players after player feedback. Set in a Caribbean-inspired world, players begin as a shipwrecked survivor who must foraging and craft to survive before the voyage at sea, with developers praising fan support and promising ongoing fixes.
