Over 200.000 players joined Necesse Free Weekend, Fair Games celebrates a new player record and reveals the roadmap towards a 1.0 release!  

Aarhus, Denmark - January 30 2025

Indie game studio Fair Games celebrates as more than 200.000 players join Necesse, a record of 396% in peak CCU increase, marking a new era for the indie Survival Gem, Necesse. 

A wealth of players joined the fast-growing sandbox survival game ''Necesse'' during the Free Weekend event on Steam. ''The team is creating an awesome game, and I'm really happy to experience all of the positive feedback from players that have joined Necesse in our ''Free Weekend'' said Christian Nyhus, COO, of Fair Games.

"We couldn't be more thrilled with the results of the Free Weekend," said Mads, aka. Fair, the Creator of Necesse. "It was incredible to see so many players diving into the game, sharing their experiences, and becoming part of the Necesse community. This success reaffirms our commitment to delivering engaging and ever-evolving gameplay experiences towards 1.0."

This was a perfect opportunity for new players to dive into the world of exploration, crafting, and survival — FOR FREE! And players were overwhelmingly positive about the experience.

Beyond the strong player turnout, the Free Weekend also led to a notable rise in wishlists and sales, indicating a lasting impact beyond the event itself. Player feedback from the weekend will be invaluable in shaping upcoming updates and enhancements, ensuring Necesse continues to grow and evolve in exciting new ways towards the 1.0 release.
