While Steam Spy is no longer as reliable as it once was, unless you’re willing to fork over $120 bucks a year, there are reports currently indicating that The Irregular Corporation’s PC Building Simulator has sold 100,000 copies within the span of a single month after launching into Early Access on March 27th, 2018.
GamesIndustry.biz is reporting that the game just recently surpassed the 100,000 sales mark, while more than 500,000 people downloaded the free demo. The Steam Spy page also gives a general ballpark figure of 100,000 as well, even if you haven’t pay into the Patreon coffers for the premium stats.
The game allows players to build their very own PC using brand name hardware from recognized manufacturers such as AMD, MSI and Corsair.
You can select the kind of case you want, the fans, the CPU, the GPU, the RAM, the motherboard, the monitor, and the accessories that go along with it. Once you get done putting the hardware together, you then boot up your PC and run benchmark tests to see how well your hardware runs under a specific configuration.
The game is actually quite useful for putting together your very own custom PC in real life, and fans love the fact that they can play-test and mess around with different hardware builds and benchmark the results before actually going out and spending real money on the hardware. That’s not to mention that due to all the crypto-mining, prices for PC hardware has skyrocketed to unfathomable heights, so if you don’t have the dosh to build your dream PC you can at least simulate the experience in PC Building Simulator.
If you want to join in on the 100,000 other gamers who have picked up a copy of the game, you can do so by visiting the Steam store page where the game is available in Early Access for $19.99. Alternatively, you can wait for the game to graduate from Early Access to acquire a copy for yourself.
