Atomfall Surpasses 2 Million Players Following Game Pass Launch

Rebellion Developments credits Xbox Game Pass for the record-breaking success of its post-apocalyptic RPG set in 1960s Britain.

Rebellion confirmed last week that Atomfall had reached over two million players.

Overview

  • Atomfall, launched on March 27, 2025, has reached over 2 million players, marking Rebellion's most successful game debut in its 32-year history.
  • The game was released across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, with day-one availability on Xbox Game Pass driving significant player engagement.
  • Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley highlighted the Game Pass partnership as a critical factor, citing enhanced discoverability and guaranteed revenue as key benefits.
  • While acknowledging potential sales cannibalization, Kingsley expressed optimism that word-of-mouth would boost premium purchases outside of Game Pass.
  • Set in a post-apocalyptic northern England inspired by the 1957 Windscale nuclear incident, Atomfall blends survival, exploration, and moral-choice gameplay.
