Octodad: Dadliest Catch‘s offbeat sense of humor may not have won any awards of note, but it did bring home the bacon according to new reports.
In the year since its release, Octodad raked in exactly $4,902,945 in gross revenue, developer Young Horses says. With 459,735 units sold across PC, PS4, Mac and Linux, that’s not bad at all for a game starring wobbly, paternal, pre-table takoyaki.
Developer Young Horses shared the stats in an infographic, noting that 61.1 percent of Octodad copies live on PC and 32.6 percent are on PS4. Mac is 5.5 percent while Linux is 0.8 percent of all copies sold. In terms of total revenue, PC composes 55 percent, PS4 is 39.2 percent, Mac is 5.3 percent and Linux is 0.5 percent. Keep in mind that Octodad was never a PS Plus free game.
