Guntouchables Hits Over 2M Downloads in the First 24 Hours

The apocalypse has gone viral! Following the game’s launch and 24-hour free-to-keep window, Guntouchables has already surpassed two million players worldwide.

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK August 8th, 2025 - Ghost Ship Publishing and developer Game Swing are thrilled to reveal that its cooperative roguelike Guntouchables has been claimed by more than two million players worldwide. After launching on August 7th as a free-to-download and keep forever title for the first 24 hours, players around the world have turned out in droves in an effort to take back the planet from a threatening mutant infestation.

Since 6th August, Guntouchables has gone from having 2,000 followers to being one of the top 100 most played games on Steam in just one day. The game has witnessed over 16,000 concurrent players on the first day of its release. With over 700 reviews counted, the game has also achieved an overall score of 86% Very Positive from user reviews.

“Giving the game away for free was a huge gamble for us,” said Martin Kai Sommer, CEO of Game Swing. “As an indie studio, it is incredibly difficult to capture people’s attention, and we really believed in Guntouchables’ quality. We have been blown away by the positive response from players, and we have worked hard to deliver a game that both loyalists and new players can enjoy for years to come. This is the perfect game to bring a friend to, so we hope to see more people join the apocalypse from here on out!”

Guntouchables is set to continue its journey post-launch with free updates that promise to make the wasteland a place players will wish to return to on a regular basis. Developer Game Swing is also proud to welcome an open development strategy for the game, inviting brave preppers to give their feedback and help evolve Guntouchables for years to come.

Guntouchables is available right now on Steam, priced at $4.99 / €4.99 / £4.49.

About Game Swing

Game Swing is a small Copenhagen-based game studio of passionate indie developers. Recognized for our devotion to social gameplay, attention to detail, and originality, we seek to explore new ways to play together, while being inspired by the games we played in our youth (many years ago) that we can still pick up and play, with friends and family, today.

Our games are always looking to explore new ways to play together, while still feeling familiar. We strive to make our games easy to pick up and introduce your friends to, and deep enough that you will get challenged to the limit.

The company was founded in 2013 by a handful of irrepressible game students determined to bring their game jam prototype to market. Since then, we have brought three games into the world – Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure, OddBallers and the mobile game SpotRacers, a collaboration with Level Up Garage. GUNTOUCHABLES is our fourth original game.
