Rebellion is no stranger to a popular game, with the likes of Sniper Elite boasting huge sales and popularity with almost every iteration. However, its most recent title has finally broken that record, proving to be the most successful game in 32 years for the company. Atomfall whisks players off to the UK countryside, specifically Wyndham in the Lake District, post-nuclear disaster, as they scramble to escape and discover the mysteries that lie within.
It doesn’t handhold players through quests. Instead, it lets them uncover clues and answers, and it’s proving to be extremely popular. The story itself is based on a real nuclear disaster, and in our review , we considered the adventure to have a “gripping central story and wonderfully realized setting” and feels like “a refreshing change that other open-world games like Elder Scrolls or Assassin’s Creed should take note of.
” Atomfall smashes Rebellion’s playercount record Sharing their achievement on X , Atomfall developer Rebellion revealed that over 1.5 million players have dived into Atomfall since the game launched, making it the “most successful launch in the company’s 32-year history.” This compares to the release of Rebellion’s largest games, like Sniper Elite, Zombie Army, and Evil Genius, all of which have a strong following and player base.
But none are comparable to Atomfall’s inherent success. Over 1.5 million of you enjoyed Atomfall since launch.

As such, it’s likely that the current record is owed to Xbox Game Pass, considering the lower player count on Steam, which sits at a peak of 6,000 players.
