Summary

DazedGames announced on August 23, 2026 that "How to Fish," available on Steam, has surpassed 1 million copies sold. The game is a physics-based fishing simulation that supports up to 4-player co-op, where players catch, process, and sell fish to earn money. Its "anything-goes" approach to cooperative gameplay has attracted a large player base. Reaching 1 million sales within just 2 days of release demonstrates the strong appeal of the title in both the co-op and simulation genres. This achievement reflects a growing demand for lighthearted yet creative multiplayer experiences, and further proves that indie games with unique physics interactions and social elements can achieve massive success on Steam.
