The game, set in a Wild West overrun by undead enemies, supports up to four players as robot cowboy bounty hunters. Players use firearms like revolvers and miniguns alongside magic attacks that can trigger explosions and tornadoes. Missions involve hunting target bosses, with rewards scaling with mission difficulty. The game recorded a peak concurrent player count of approximately 47,000 on Steam and holds a 'Very Positive' overall review rating, with over 24,000 reviews at the time of the announcement. A major update released on May 14 overhauled the progression system, increased weapon experience, prevented solo players from monopolizing upgrade items, and included bug fixes and balance adjustments. The developers plan to continue updating the game based on community feedback during the Early Access period. 'Far Far West' is available on Steam for 2,400 yen.","why_it_matters":"The sales milestone, reached in under two weeks, follows a demo that earned an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' rating (98%) and over 700,000 pre-release wishlists, indicating strong pre-launch demand for the indie co-op shooter.","published_at":"2026-05-19T17:31:24.000Z","source_count":3,"sources":["4Gamer.net","Denfaminicogamer","Game Spark"],"citations":[{"source":"4Gamer.net","title":"4-player cooperative cowboy FPS 'Far Far West' sells over 1 million copies in two weeks since release","url":"https://www.4gamer.net/games/985/G098546/20260519028/"},{"source":"Denfaminicogamer","title":"Co-op FPS 'Far Far West' for up to 4 players, where you defeat enemies with guns and magic, sells 1 million copies in less than 2 weeks.
