“There is nothing quite like seeing the space game genre have a massive resurgence, and the team at ROCKFISH is excited to be a part of it. Our intention was to create an accessible pick-up-and-play arcade-style space adventure game, and it’s clear that what we’ve made is resonating with space pilots all over the globe,” says ROCKFISH Games CEO Michael Schade. “EVERSPACE 2 is performing even better than our original surprise breakout hit. In the same time frame, we’ve seen nearly three times the number of sales on each platform and more than four times the players on Game Pass.”

“Over the course of the last six years, our team has built something really outstanding—a beloved single-player experience in space with a passionate community of sci-fi fans, some clocking hundreds of hours in the DMZ,” said Schade. “This year has been the biggest ever in our genre, and Everspace 2 is among the highest-rated space games released on all platforms within it. Today’s update is a great way to double-down on this success, while there's even more exciting content coming next year.”
