Dazed Games said on October 12 that its physics-based fishing shooter How to Fish has passed 10 million players, less than two months after its August 20 PC release. The studio is working on a larger content update, a console version, and bug fixes. Platforms and timing for the console release were not disclosed.
The Steam page for the game has drawn about 72,000 user reviews, with over 95 percent recommending it, according to SteamDB figures cited in the announcement coverage. Peak concurrent players reached 373,971 on August 26, up from roughly 20,000 in the first days after launch.
The game already received a content update in September, the Mini Island Update 1.1.0, which added weapons, mini islands, and mini bosses. Dazed Games describes the coming update as larger in scale than that.
