Slay the Spire 2 Narrowly Trails Silksong in Peak Steam Players
Slay the Spire 2, released in Steam Early Access on March 5, 2026, peaked at 574,638 concurrent players—nearly matching Hollow Knight: Silksong’s 587,150 peak. Video Game Insights estimates about 2.8 million copies sold and $55.1 million in revenue, with roughly 43% of players in China and ~2.4 million Steam wishlists. By comparison, the original Slay the Spire sold over 1.5 million copies before its 2019 full launch, and the sequel switched to the Godot engine after Unity policy disputes.
