Dispatch bought over 3 million copies in 2025, and solely round 5 p.c of gamers beat the sport with out romancing anybody
Interactive superhero present Dispatch was a crucial success, receiving a wholesome 89% in PC Gamer’s evaluation, and now we have realized it was a industrial success, too, promoting over 3 million copies in 2025.
That determine comes from an animated infographic AdHoc Studio posted on Bluesky earlier in the present day, which is festooned with all types of stats (honest warning, it spoils some selections you will be confronted with in-game).

That is all effectively and good, however I am right here for the humorous tidbits—like how solely round 164,000 gamers acquired via the sport with out falling for anybody. Almost 2 million gamers romanced Invisigal and one other million romanced Blazer, so possibly Baldur’s Gate had the correct concept with how, erm, keen its forged was to win the participant’s coronary heart over. Videogame romance stays widespread as ever, no matter what you would possibly hear elsewhere.
Funnily sufficient, Dispatch itself was nearly even saucier than it turned out to be, with “some intercourse scenes” reduce throughout growth. Ultimately, I am simply glad it got here out in any respect and did so effectively, given the arduous street its creators took getting it out the door.
This all jogs my memory that I must play Dispatch myself earlier than lengthy. It looks as if a worthy revival of the form of interactive journey sport Telltale was king of again in its heyday, and as Fraser talked about in his above evaluation, it has “rizz for days.” That is the form of endorsement I can get behind!
