(Games that are popular among Japanese users) We didn’t observe any major spikes recently, maybe because we always had a solid presence on the Japanese market.īut on Steam, on the other hand, we got all our games like Frostpunk, This War of Mine, Moonlighter, and Children of Morta translated into Japanese from day one, and I think it’s a part of why our sales in Japan look stable.Ģ.
