Summary
Following the recent release ofAtomfall, the developer has revealed that more than 2 million players have checked out the game. While 2025 has already seen some big game releases, these recent player numbers show thatAtomfallhas not been forgotten by many gamers.
Created by Rebellion Developments,Atomfallprovides survival-action fans with a game set in Northern England. Based on the real-life Windscale nuclear disaster, the game features a fictionalized telling of the event and allows players to scavenge and fight to survive in its open world. So far, this blend ofgameplay and setting inAtomfallhas struck a chord with players, and the developer has recently revealed to what extent.
In a social media post, Rebellion revealed the impressive popularity of the game since its release on March 27. According to the tweet, over 2 million players have explored the world ofAtomfall, suggesting the game has been successful so far. In addition, the developer shared various stats related to players’ experiences with the game. For example, players have found over 12,700,000 caches and performed more than 5,000,00 cricket bat kills. Some other interesting details included 420,000 swarm fatalities and players’ favorite foods, with Tin of Meat leading the way at 14.1 million.
Atomfall Reaches Over 2 Million Players
These early player numbers are doubtlessly good news for Rebellion, evidencing player interest in the survival-action game. However, it is worth noting thatAtomfallis a day-one Xbox Game Pass Ultimate titleand is also available on PC Game Pass. Given the subscription service’s sizable user base, many more gamers had access to the title without having to purchase the game separately. Nevertheless, 2 million players is a high mark, and the game likely drew in players on its other platforms, such as PlayStation 4 and 5.
This news comes asRebellion has declaredAtomfallits most successful launchin its 32-year history. In addition, the more than 2 million players will have more to check out in the months ahead, as CEO Jason Kingsley has revealed additional content is coming to the game. According to Kingsley,Atomfallwas a risky project that turned out to be worth it.
While players wait for more content, the developer continues to roll out new patches for the game to address bugs. For example, anAtomfallupdate was recently releasedthat fixed a persistent audio issue. With the game off to a hot start, it will be interesting to see if it can maintain its momentum with future content drops.
