Slay the Spire 2 Hits 3 Million Early Access Sales and Half a Million Active Players While Developers Announce Steam Workshop and Accessibility Roadmap
Mega Crit Studios announced that its much anticipated sequel Slay the Spire 2 reached three million sales during its first week of availability on Steam Early Access. The card based roguelike, which will launch on March 5, 2026, has exceeded our internal projections by outperforming all competing major game releases that are planned for the same time period. The game currently sustains a maximum of about 500000 users who play simultaneously throughout each day.
Mega Crit reported that players have already completed more than 25 million runs during the first week of the game's release, which has resulted in exceptional sales performance. The developers indicated that users are currently showing more engagement than expected because they had not implemented complete data tracking during the first three hours after launch. The title has maintained its presence as the top selling game on Valve's global sales and most played charts because of the ongoing player engagement.
Mega Crit Studios announced their upcoming high priority updates after the game launched successfully in Early Access. The team plans to enhance the user experience through multiple improvements that will function as quality of life updates.
- Community Tools Integration of Steam Workshop support for user created mods.
- Social Features New filters for high scores that allow players to compare rankings specifically with friends.
- Accessibility Implementation of specialized accessibility modes, including settings for players with specific phobias.
The developers want players to test new updates before they enter the main game so testers can help improve the game. Players can access the Slay the Spire 2 experimental version through the Steam client by following these instructions
- Right click on the game in your Steam Library and select Properties.
- Navigate to the Betas or Game Versions tab.
- Select the Public Beta branch from the dropdown menu.
Mega Crit wants to maintain the balance and stability that made the original game successful through community testing of their product. The development team will deliver ongoing content updates and mechanical improvements to players throughout 2026 based on user feedback.
