The game studio shared the news on its official Twitter account, saying “Thanks to those who have joined us in our Early Access journey into ‘Sons Of The Forest’. We have sold over 2 million copies in the first 24 hours, and are very excited for what we have in store for players in the coming weeks.”
Sons of the Forest has just begun its early access phase and is expected to be in that phase for around 6-8 months, according to its Steam page. Endnight Games also stated that the pricing would stay the same once the game leaves early access.
