KARDS 1.0 - The first week
Celebrate the phenomenal first week of KARDS Release and enjoy a round of great stats, articles and reviews, offer extensions and charity support.
The first week after the official release of KARDS, The World War II Card Game, saw an amazing reception! Thank you, everyone, for such an incredible launch and enthusiastic support!
[h2]Thank you![/h2]
Following one year of Early Access and over 1.5 million hours of battle testing in the ditches, we launched KARDS on April 15th.
With strong organic growth during the previous months, KARDS was already in a good position. But gosh! did we surpass all previous records by far and wide. No stone was left unturned.
We saw over 250 thousand players during Early Access and the first days of our PC launch!
[h2]Stats from the first week[/h2]
[h3]Record PCU[/h3]
We reached a new record of peak concurrent users (PCU) almost every day since launch. The new PCU is at 2740 now - up by over 300% (thanks to SteamDB for making these numbers publicly available).
[h3]Record downloads[/h3]
The number of downloads is, of course, also at a record level. KARDS is still on the front pages of Steam for “trending”, “indie”, and “top-selling”! Amazing.
[h3]Community support[/h3]
Maybe the most amazing aspect of the launch was the incredible enthusiasm and passion for KARDS. Streamers and video producers either completely new to KARDS or already established provided reviews, gameplay, giveaways, challenges, how-to videos and advice for the whole community in countless hours.
There is something for everyone and you are all invited and encouraged to follow some or all of our fantastic contributors! Don’t miss out and join the KARDS Discord #streams_and_podcasts!
Thank you so much for supporting the KARDS release! If you want to contribute even more, please recommend KARDS and write a quick Steam review.
[h2]Current offers extended[/h2]
To celebrate the great success of the KARDS release and to thank you, we extend our special release offers and continue our great discounts on several card pack bundles throughout this coming weekend until the end of Sunday, April 26th.
Have a look at the KARDS in-game store and take advantage of discounts up to 36%.
Originally the Release offers were supposed to run till the end of April 19, but we decided to keep the discounts in the store for an additional week so that you can celebrate and enjoy one week longer!
[h2]Charity support[/h2]
You might recall the KARDS Relief Package and charity support which we started on March 20th. This initiative allows everyone to support the fight against the current worldwide crisis. You can still purchase the charity card back: 100% of the proceeds are donated to the UN Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
We are extending this initiative (Charity card back) till the end of May 4th as well!
[h2]Next steps and outlook[/h2]
The next larger milestones are the release of historic campaigns and the enthusiastically requested mobile version of KARDS.
With the historic campaigns, you will face challenging PVE content and play through various important events of WW2. This will be our first major PVE content. Keep an eye on the news for more info in the coming weeks.
The mobile version of KARDS allows you to play your favorite WW2 Card Game on Android- or iOS-based mobile devices. It allows full cross-platform gameplay, you will be able to access your KARDS account including your whole collection.
We will continue the updates as we go along.
