Things are looking good for Funcom’s Conan Exiles, as the company has shared the game’s financial results so far and they are truly impressive. Since the game entered its Early Access phase it has sold 480,000 copies, and the game has been available for about a month. Considering that the company initially had a goal of selling 487,000 copies in an entire year, these numbers are huge.

They also revealed that the game is currently profitable for them, with it costing $4.5 million to develop up to launch and the costs being covered within the first week. This success bodes well for where they take things going forward, adding more to the Early Access version while also preparing for the release of the finished product.

The company also shared some tidbits on the support the game will be getting going forward, which is detailed in the following text:

Regular Patches, which will happen every one to two weeks: Performance and Stability updates. Bug Fixing to continuously polish the game experience. “Quick Win” small features and additions to the game to respond to the requests from the community.

Game Updates, less frequent but with significant additions to the game: Examples of content are the Trebuchet/Siege weapons, Dye system, mounts, etc. The current plan is for 4 – 6 Game Updates during the Early Access Period. 2-3 Game Updates during H1 2017. 2-3 Game Updates during H2 2017. 1 Game Update during Q1 2018.

Major Releases, for new platform launches and large content updates: Xbox One Game Preview and an additional Biome during Q3 2017. Xbox Game Preview is similar to the Early Access program but on the Xbox platform. A “biome” is an addition to the existing game map with a different environment, adding new terrain, monsters, equipment, avatars, etc. Full Release on PC, Xbox, and PS4 in Q1 2018.
