Indie survival horror gem Crow Country hit 100,000 copies sold before PS4 launch

The Silent Hill 2 remake may have dominated much of the October survival horror discourse, but Crow Country remains an indie gem you should check out if you haven’t had the chance. Plenty of folks have already, to the tune of 100,000 copies sold. 

This not-so-macabre milestone comes just a week after Crow County made its debut on Nintendo Switch, and roughly six months after it first launched on Steam. There are still more monetary med kits in store for the folks at SFB Games, too. In fact, the game hit 100k prior to this week’s launch on PlayStation 4.

According to the press release, over two-thirds of the copies sold so far were on Steam. The rest were divided between the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch versions. 

The numbers clearly blew SFB Games’ Tom Vian’s mind, too. “100k copies in under 6 months is far beyond our highest hopes for Crow Country,” he said. Before thanking everyone who has played so far, he added, “It’s been incredible to see so many people enjoy the game and recommend it to each other, especially now in the runup to Halloween.”

It’s true; now is undeniably the very best time to play Crow Country. If you have fond memories of PS1-era survival horror, it’ll scratch that itch in both fresh and familiar ways. For those who have already plumbed its horrifying yet oddly comforting depths, there’s also a bunch of merch on the way from Fangamer. The first round of items is set to launch on October 29, with more — including physical releases for PS5 and Switch — following some time in 2025.
