"We will never stop."
Recently, I was deeply saddened to hear the news regarding layoffs at Meta and the closing of several VR studios. Many of those affected are my former colleagues, partners, and fellow pioneers who have poured their hearts into building the future of XR. To see such talent face these challenges is a heavy moment for our entire industry.
However, I want to reassure our community: Devs United Games is a solely independent studio. We are not affected by these external decisions. Our focus remains sharp, our hands are steady, and our commitment to the world we’ve built together is stronger than ever.
In the midst of these industry shifts, I am humbled to share some incredible news that belongs to you—our community.
The Milestones of a Global Community
- 1 Million+ Copies Sold: We have officially surpassed 1 million copies sold across all platforms.
- 1.5 Million Registered Users: Our community has grown to nearly 1.5 million explorers.
- 1 Billion Minutes Played: You, our fans, have spent nearly 1 billion minutes casting lines in our waters. To put that in perspective, that is over 1,900 years of collective fishing, peace, and connection.
