Lies of P Developer Round8 Studio Celebrates 3 Million Sales with Rewards Amid Switch 2 Port Requests

Lies of P Developer Round8 Studio Marks Major Sales Milestone as Switch 2 Port Demand Intensifies The video game industry may have faced its share of challenges in the past year, but Round8 Studio is proving that strong creative vision and dedication still lead to success.

The South Korean developer, in partnership with publisher Neowiz, recently celebrated a significant milestone: Lies of P has surpassed 3 million copies sold worldwide following the launch of its latest DLC, 'Overture.' The soulslike action RPG, which draws inspiration from the classic tale of Pinocchio, has earned critical acclaim since its release in 2023 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. A report from South Korean publication The Elec, relayed by Video Games Chronicle (VGC), highlighted Neowiz’s gesture to commemorate this achievement.

Every member of the local Round8 Studio development team will receive Nintendo’s upcoming flagship hardware, the Nintendo Switch 2, as a reward for their hard work and contributions.

In addition to the new console, team members are also being granted launch bonuses equivalent to approximately $7,300 USD, alongside two weeks of paid vacation—a benefit in addition to South Korea’s legally mandated 15 days of paid leave. This noteworthy recognition comes in conjunction with growing excitement among fans for a Lies of P port on Nintendo’s next-generation system.

The game’s blend of challenging combat, rich customization, and a dark narrative twist on a beloved story has cultivated a passionate audience that is eager to experience the title on the forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

As of now, however, neither Round8 Studio nor Neowiz have confirmed any plans for a Switch 2 release. Lies of P launched to strong reviews, with industry outlets like Push Square awarding it 8 out of 10 stars and describing the game as an "exceptional debut" for Round8 Studio in the soulslike genre.

Editors praised its atmospheric interpretation of Pinocchio, refined combat mechanics, and robust customization options, noting that the game sets itself apart from similar titles and offers a unique experience for fans of challenging RPGs. While Switch 2 users await official word on a port, they can look forward to other highly anticipated soulslike experiences, including the arrival of Elden Ring and new multiplayer projects from FromSoftware.

For now, Round8 Studio’s latest achievements demonstrate the impact of quality game development and the continued appetite for compelling content across all major gaming platforms, including the eagerly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.
