Yacht Club Games sales rock on Nintendo Switch
In their blog post on Cyber Shadow, they said that the 2D action game had sold 85,000 copies across all platforms. “It’s worth noting that Cyber Shadow was a day one Xbox Game Pass title, which implies that more than 300,000 people acquired the game for free on Game Pass, according to our calculations.” So far, about half a million individuals have swiped at Cyber Shadow, which makes us ecstatic!”
- Shovel of Hope released June 2014- 18 months development, 6 team members, $1.4 Million
- Plague of Shadows was launched in September 2015 after a year of production, nine team members, and a $1 million budget.
- Specter of Torment was launched in March 2017 after a 15-month development period, 16 team members, and a $1.5 million budget.
Here’s King of Cards’ and Showdown’s stats:
- King of Cards will be published in December 2019 and will take 18 months to complete with 16 team members and a budget of $2.5 million (Kickstarter budget 25k)
- Showdown will be published in December 2019 and will last for 12 months with 16 team members and a budget of $1.5 million (Kickstarter budget 50k)
- Yacht Club Games has made almost $40 million in revenue from all of our games (after sales tax, partners and platform holders cut, and so on). To us, that’s utterly mind-boggling. It’s enabled us to expand to a studio of 25 people working on two games at the same time!
