Yesterday I wrote how Manor Lords had a chance at being the next big breakout hit of 2024. Today publisher Hooded Horse has announced that the game has already sold a million copies.
Since yesterday's launch Manor Lords has already sold over 1 million copies & hit a peak Steam concurrent player count of 170k – highest ever for a city builder (or for other different genres like GSG/4x/colony sim). Congrats @LordsManor, we're honored to serve as your publisher! pic.twitter.com/559uGRp1NO

For a game to be built by a single person in a niche genre to sell a million copies in less than 2 days is a remarkable feat. How high will it go? And for those interested it is also available on PC Game Pass so the player count is likely much higher.
Congrats to Manor Lords and publisher Hooded Horse on the milestone!
