Dead Island 2 has sold over 2 million copies

This makes the game PLAION and Deep Silver's biggest launch in history.

Embracer recently revealed its interim report for Q4 of 2023's fiscal year, where it showed that Dead Island 2 had sold over 2 million units since launch.

Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors said: "I am happy to state that the game has reached a sell-out of well over two million units. It is rewarding to see that the decision to give [Dambuster Studios] time to polish the game has paid off."

While Dead Island 2 was stuck in development hell for years, it managed to not be a total disaster when it launched just over one month ago and was actually quite good according to many reviewers.

Dead Island 2 is set to receive more DLC content later in the year so hopefully Dambuster, Deep Silver, and PLAION are going to keep up their winning streak.
