Thunderful says SteamWorld Build underperformed, reveals it's looking to sell Headup
The title launched in December 2023 but sales have fallen 'slightly short' of Thunderful's expectations.
SteamWorld Build has failed to meet the sales expectations of publisher Thunderful.
The company shared the news in its fiscal report for the full-year ended December 31, 2023, and indicated sales have been somewhat underwhelming despite SteamWorld Build being the first new entry in the franchise since 2019.
"We are pleased to have new momentum with regard to our most important IP, but sales during December fell slightly short of our expectations," said Thunderful CEO Martin Walfisz.
"We believe this is because the genre of this game has not really appealed to our most dedicated target audience and it has not been well-suited to the Switch console, which has traditionally been a key platform for SteamWorld games."
