The funny thing are Steam metrics, Anno 1800 got pulled day one on Steam but still managed to triple Anno 2205 peak.
Congratulations to Com_Raven and Blue Byte.
Well if Steam tripled the previous numbers, then we can say that, based on the stats that around 7k people were playing at once on Epic.
The game is also on uplay, and uplay keys are usually a lot cheaper than everything else, so it's not so straight forward sadly
That all depends on the Uplay numbers. We don't know how many people played 2205 on Uplay on day one either.
What you can determine though is that sales/redeemed on Steam are a lot higher than on EGS.
Thank you! We couldn't be happier with how the game is doing so far <3
Steam/EGS shenanigans aside, it's an incredibly fun game and an absolute return to form for the franchise.
It's really beautiful and detailed too.

This. Ubisoft played it smart and dirty, and it seems it worked out for them.
Anything you can share about the platform split? Vague hints like 2.5 times more will do ;)

Nice screenshots. It really is a good looking game. I like how the field placement is handled. Gives a good amount of flexibility to create pleasant farm districts.
Can you give us a lifetime sale number for the franchise? Since 1998? I know the first 2 games were major hits that have sold around 4.5 million i think by the time the third game was coming out ? And the third game we have here its budget at 8 million euros, calling it one of the most expensive projects at the time in europe.

Im estimating the series at 15 to 20 million by now. How close am i ?
The GMG 15% off version I preordered was a Uplay code - were there better preorder deals available for the Steam version? (I preordered rather late)
A team if 60 people made this game? Holy crap, congrats! It looks and plays amazing. I loved playing the beta! Money is kind of tight right now because I'm still paying for my new pc, but I'm definitely buying it in a couple of months.
So it's on Steam, Uplay, EGS? Doesn't that mean that uplay+EGS combined had 1/3 as many concurrent players as Steam alone?
Nothing to comment on there at all, sorry. On the dev side, the most important thing is that people have a great time when they buy our game, regardless of which platform they bought it on :)
The last lifetime sales numbers we have given was "more than 9 million copies", but that was several years ago already. So, more than that for sure!
Thank you, that is much appreciated :)
Good to hear. The game looked interesting and I have enjoyed previous Anno entries. I'll definitely look to pick it up once it's back on Steam and can be had for $20 or less.
Sorry if it has been asked, can you say if there are any plan on expanding on wich store the game will be available in the future? (Specifically GoG, Steam)
But I was told not selling on Steam doesnt hurt your sales and people buy anywhere and dont care about features.
Great success but it could've been higher if it wasnt remove from sale.

No future plans beyond the game being on Uplay, Epic Games Store and retail (in some European markets) have been announced.
Oh man I didn't realise this was a city builder, I thought it was more like Civilisation or something.
Might just have to jump on board!

If you make a great Anno with the classic setting, gamers will buy the damn thing. I did my part with the Pioneer Edition and the regular retail version.
Loads of people? What does Uplay have to do with it, besides acting as a link between Steam and your Ubisoft account?
Then they will probably release Anno 9000 next with DB guest characters.
Youi clearly must be joking that Ubisoft does not do well on Steam,
