Surprise Success: Roadcraft Becomes One of Publisher’s Top Launches

Sure thing. Here’s a more human, disorganized take on that article:

So, Saber Interactive. What a bunch, right? They’ve somehow turned the whole idea of slogging through mud and snow with trucks into, like, a gaming thing people actually want. It started back in 2017 with Mudrunner. Then they went all out with Snowrunner and that weirdly-named Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game. Every time, it’s like they’ve cranked the dial, ya know? Anyway, the latest is this thing called Roadcraft – launched last month – which mixes the nitty-gritty details from their others with some kind of construction vibe. It’s going gangbusters, apparently. Focus Entertainment, the guys who publish this stuff, are saying it’s one of their best launches. Huh.

Our buddy Ed – who, by the way, sometimes can’t tell a Jeep from a jalopy – reckons this Roadcraft is proof you can make a game about pretty much anything and people will still dig it. He’s on about construction stuff being rewarding, possibly more so than those RPG things or shooter games. I dunno. It’s like, how many ways can they make transport simulation cool?

So, here’s the kicker: People are eating it up. Like, on launch day, Steam was buzzing. Then you’ve got Focus’s parent company, Pullup Entertainment Group, chiming in. They had this big fiscal report – which sounds boring but bear with me – and they’re all “Whoa, Roadcraft’s smashing it!” with over 600,000 people diving in. I mean, numbers, right? Geoffroy Sardin, Pullup’s boss guy, couldn’t help but pat himself on the back, saying it’s one of their top launches ever. Kind of makes you wonder what they’ll cook up next.

Oh, there’s a YouTube thing here – probably just some gameplay footage. Check it out if that’s your thing, I guess.

Anyway, if you’re thinking “hey, maybe I’ll try this Roadcraft thing out,” you can wishlist or grab it on Steam. Otherwise, if building virtual stuff gives you that warm fuzzy feeling, you might wanna peek at some top sandbox or building games we’ve compiled for PC.
