Overview
- Planet Centauri amassed roughly 130,000–138,000 Steam wishlists but saw its launch visibility collapse when a Steam bug blocked notification emails.
- Valve offered a front‑page Daily Deal to restore visibility, which the developer scheduled for November 12, 2025.
- The promotion coincided with Valve’s reveal of the Steam Machine, Steam Frame headset, and a new Steam Controller, which dominated the storefront.
- More than 5,000 copies sold during the Daily Deal, below hopes yet enough for studio Permadeath to fund operations for about a year.
- Developer Laurent Lechat called the overlap bad luck and said the team will keep updating Planet Centauri and finish its second game without early access, with a demo planned.
