In the lead up to its launch, it was pretty clear that medieval city building RTS title Manor Lords was generating a fair bit of excitement, and in the immediate aftermath of its recent early access release, that’s become doubly clear.

Taking to Twitter, publisher Hooded Horse has revealed that Manor Lords has already sold over 1 million units since its release on Friday. Meanwhile, the game has also hit a peak of over 170,000 concurrent players on Steam, which is the highest CCU count a city builder has seen on Steam to date. According to Hooded Horse, no games in similar genres like grand strategy games, 4x strategy games, and colony simulators have ever seen a higher concurrent user peak on Steam either.

Manor Lords is currently available on Steam in early access. Developer Slavic Magic has previously said the current plan is to remain in early access for a year. The game is also in development for Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One.

Since yesterday's launch Manor Lords has already sold over 1 million copies & hit a peak Steam concurrent player count of 170k - highest ever for a city builder (or for other different genres like GSG/4x/colony sim). Congrats @LordsManor, we're honored to serve as your publisher! pic.twitter.com/559uGRp1NO
