How to Fish just dropped on August 20 like a physics engine on fire and already moved a cool million copies in two days. Dazed Games hit that milestone with a bare-bones Steam post promising more content and bug fixes while the game laughs in the face of Mortal Shell 2 and the Modern Warfare 4 beta sitting right next to it on the charts.
The real flex? A 268k concurrent peak on SteamDB that dwarfed those bigger launches and kept the game hovering around 140k players days later. Priced at $4.95 during the launch discount (regular $7.99), this four-player (now patched to eight) co-op chaos lets you fish, shoot, explode, trick-shot, and gamble your way off a stranded island. Reviews are sitting at Very Positive with thousands of ratings and the “friendslop” label is already sticking.
Bigger studios keep swinging for the fences while a tiny debut from Dazed Games just cleared the bases with fishing rods and SMGs. The Steam front page didn’t stand a chance.
