Slay the Spire 2 surpasses 3 million copies sold in its first week and teases future content plans

14th March 2026

We’ve known for the past week that an insane number of people have been playing Slay the Spire 2 since launch (574K concurrent players at its peak), but only now has Mega Crit revealed the game’s exact sales figures.

The deckbuilder sequel has amassed more than 3 million copies sold since hitting Early Access on March 5th. To put that into perspective with another hit rogue from this year, Mewgenics sold 1 million in the same period.

Mega Crit also shared the fascinating stat that more than 25,000,000 runs have been attempted, though, that figure will be slightly higher as the team only started collecting this data a bit after launch.

When it comes to major content or a new roadmap, they said that they won’t be giving a specific timeline for the time being. They instead outlined a few new smaller additions that they plan to add next:

– A revamp of the badge/scoring system and a friends-only leaderboard filter
– Phobia accessibility mode
– More art and VFX
– Ongoing balance patches
– Steam Workshop support
– Multiplayer QOL features
– Official Twitch plugin integration

To provide feedback on features like these before they are rolled out to the main game, a new beta branch has now been added. You can join the beta branch by right-clicking on StS2 in your Steam Library, then clicking Properties > Game Versions & Betas > public-beta.

Mega Crit mentioned that they won’t be sticking to a strict schedule for updates, but the beta branch will get them more frequently. Interestingly, it looks like the beta branch even got its first minor update earlier today.

In other recent Slay the Spire news, the original game’s soundtrack is getting a re-release on vinyl, courtesy of Mana Wave Media. You can find the full details in one of our recent news stories here.
