Slime Rancher's sales run is one of indie gaming's quiet success stories. Only dated, developer-confirmed milestones are listed here.
Milestones
| Date | Milestone |
|---|---|
| 17 August 2017 | 1 million copies sold, weeks after the 1.0 launch — excluding ~3.5 million free copies from Xbox Games With Gold1 |
| February 2019 | 2 million copies2 |
| September 2020 | 3 million copies, with over 800,000 average monthly users2 |
| 13 January 2022 | Over 5 million copies, celebrated with a 70% Steam discount3 |
A note on bigger numbers
Monomi Park's current press page cites much larger undated figures (over 17.5 million copies across platforms). Because those figures mix copies and players and carry no dates, this wiki reports only the dated milestones above — see Verifiability.
