The steam charts show that the game is the top most selling game at the moment, beating even the likes of Hogwarts Legacy and the recently released Atomic Hearts.
It is also the third most played game with active players peaking at 411,999. It is undoubtedly one of the most sold games of 2023, but it is nowhere close to how many copies Hogwarts Legacy has sold. However, that is not to take away from its success as Endnight Games is an indie developer with significantly fewer resources and budget.
Sons of the Forest is available only on PC, and Endnight Games has not made any announcements if the game is coming to other platforms. It has said that it plans to fully release the game in about eight months.
