Indie debut How to Fish sells one million copies in two days on Steam, combining physics-based chaos with four-player co-op fishing.
Steam has a massive new indie phenomenon on its hands. Developer Dazed Games announced that its debut co-op title, How to Fish, surpassed one million copies sold in just two days on the platform. The game managed to clear this major milestone despite launching right next to heavy hitters like the Mortal Shell 2 and Modern Warfare 4 playtests. According to data from Eurogamer, the title also surged past 268,000 concurrent players, aided significantly by an accessible launch price.
While the name suggests a relaxing hobby, the actual gameplay leans heavily into chaotic physics and sandbox destruction. Supporting up to four players in online co-op, the game lets players ditch traditional rods in favor of firearms and explosives to secure their catch. It cleverly taps into the current wave of social friend-slaying games while adding mechanics like trick shots and in-game gambling.
The team at Dazed Games has already confirmed that more content updates and bug fixes are on the way. For a community always looking for the next great multiplayer game to stream with friends, How to Fish has quickly established itself as an essential budget-friendly pickup on PC.
