Atomfall PS5 PS4

British developer Rebellion has revealed last week's release of Atomfall marks the studio's biggest launch in its history, with 1.5 million people playing the PS5, PS4 detective gem. The game released on Xbox Game Pass on day one, which will have helped to bolster its player stats.

What's worth noting, though, is Rebellion's other 2025 game, Sniper Elite: Resistance, also launched on the subscription service. Therefore, Atomfall is still proving more popular than past efforts from Rebellion despite the delivery method.

Sales numbers weren't shared by the team, but CEO and co-founder Jason Kingsley told IGN: "To have surpassed the 1 million players in such a short space of time speaks volumes for the creativity and dedication of the entire team here at Rebellion. Our size and stability mean that we can take risks to create something as different as Atomfall. Happily, that risk is paying off."

Rebellion will now work on creating more content for the game, which already has an expansion confirmed for the future. If you've enjoyed getting lost in the British quarantine zone, our Atomfall guide is on hand to provide help and guidance.

In our Atomfall PS5 review, we awarded the "beautifully British" game an 8/10 score and said: "The mystery at the heart of the alternate 1960s setting is gripping, forever teasing clues and solutions to a way out of its rural quarantine zone."
