Corrupt Card-Based RPG Sultan’s Game Sells more than 100,000 copies in less than 48 hours

Developers plan for new content, continued optimization, and Steam Workshop support

HANGZHOU, China - April 3, 2025 - Sultan’s Game, the twisted narrative-driven card-based RPG that crowdfunded over $275,000 in its first week from developer Double Cross Studio and publisher 2P Games, has sold over 100,000 copies within 48 hours of launch. Sultan’s Game quickly soared to the top of the Steam bestseller list, thanks to its distinct setting and gameplay. At the time of writing, Sultan’s Game has received over 2,800 user reviews on Steam, with an 85% positive rating.

To celebrate the 100,000-copy milestone, Double Cross Studio has released a special illustration and revealed its plans to expand and improve the experience over the coming two months.

New story content, an epilogue, and Steam Workshop support are in active development, and updates on the horizon include music enhancements, improvements to card management, and clearer indicators that can be changed in settings as well as warnings for mature content.

The developers are also sharing details about upcoming improvements based on extensive community feedback. Five core areas are:

Quick Execution

For repetitive events like Managing the Estate and Court sessions, there will soon be a new feature called Quick Execution, which can be manually switched on and off. Players can enable this feature for daily events, skipping them during the reward period.

Card Organization

This upcoming feature will empower players to assign specific card categories to particular hand slots, as well as setting hotkeys for automatic organization.

Music & Sound Effects

The team will fine-tune disruptive sound effects and musical transitions, alongside further optimization based on community feedback.

Sensitive Content Warning

Upcoming new game icons will help identify choices leading to sensitive storylines. As some players like this kind of unpredictable fun, this feature will be added into the Settings, so it can switch it on and off.

Game Save

A manual Save/Load feature will also be added.

Over the next few months, the team also plans to optimize controller and Steam Deck support, introduce a gallery mode to review unlocked endings and cards, add crowdfunding supporter-designed characters and gears, expand support to the Steam Workshop, and continue rolling out new character episodes and epilogues.

“We have so much more planned for the future, but will focus on fixing current issues and keep the promises we made to our crowdfunding backers” said Munan LV, Lead Writer at Double Cross Studio. “Thank you again for your support of Sultan's Game!”

Sultan’s Game is now available on PC via Steam for $24.99 USD alongside a 10% launch discount. Language support includes English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.
