Meccha Chameleon has now sold 20 million copies in two months

Meccha Chameleon, an indie hide-and-seek game released on Steam two months ago, has become one of the year's most successful games. Its developer announced today that sales have surpassed an impressive 20 million copies. The news post on Steam simply outlines the achievement and expresses gratitude to the players for their support. Despite the recent milestone, the game's developers continue to release updates, the latest of which came yesterday.

The game reached the 15 million copy sales mark in just one month, slowing its sales pace slightly. However, securing an additional 5 million sales in a single month is a feat that most developers would aspire to. While the game's peak concurrent player numbers have decreased and are no longer as high as they were in June, Meccha Chameleon still maintains a consistent daily audience of around 22,000 players according to SteamDB.

The game's remarkable success has also made it one of the most played games in the US across platforms such as Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox.

Meccha Chameleon's simplicity and unique gameplay have been key factors in its popularity. The game is a variant of the well-known prop hunt, where players paint themselves to blend into their surroundings. This creative element adds an extra layer of enjoyment that has contributed to its viral appeal among streamers and fans of social co-op games.
