Hey Kenshi crew, how you doin’? First up - in case you missed it, we recently posted a blog with a little Kenshi 2 news and a brand new Kenshi Free Camera mode. Check it out if you’ve not had the chance. So why are we here again so soon? Well, we’ve a pretty big milestone to celebrate:
Kenshi hits two million sales milestone
We’re overjoyed to announce that we’ve sold 2.3 million copies of Kenshi. Not only that - more of you folks bought yourself a copy of Kenshi in 2023 than in any other year. Wild.
We celebrated with tees for the crew
So here’s a massive thanks to everyone who’s helped us on this journey. You might not be aware, but we’re an entirely independent company and we don’t have the deep pockets of investors or publishers to help us spread the word at all. We’re therefore especially thankful for all the recommendations and reviews from fans, the work from content creators and all the publications kind enough to cover us. We couldn’t have done it without you.

- GamesIndustry.biz - Lo-Fi Games' Kenshi sells 2.3m units
Kenshi animated Steam avatars
To celebrate our 2 million milestone we’re launching these animated avatars for you to get your mitts on with any Steam points you might have lying about.
To grab your Steam avatars, head to the Steam Points Shop and click on 'Avatars' on the left-hand side menu under “Profile”. At the top of the shop you should see your ‘Steam Points Balance’ and a search bar next to it, use this to search ‘Kenshi’ and the avatars should appear.
Alternatively, you can head to your profile, click ‘Edit Profile’ and on the left-hand side, you should see ‘Steam Points Shop’. Once you click this, you’ll be brought to the store page, and you can use the search bar to find the avatars.
