It does not take DLC sales into account, though 11 Bit does note that it has been able to donate over $500,000 to the War Child charity through the money made off of the DLC. That includes the original PC version released back in November 2014, its subsequent release on iOS and Android, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions released back in January 2016, and the Nintendo Switch's Complete Edition that released back in November. This War of Mine's 4.5 million sales milestone includes units sold across all platforms since its initial 2014 release.
And more than five years after the game's release on multiple platforms, the Polish developer is announcing that This War of Mine has surpassed 4.5 million units sold. The game has captured imaginations largely because of its bold idea of capturing the horrors of war from the perspective of civilians.
It's been more than five years since developer 11 Bit Studios first unveiled This War of Mine, a survival game about being a survivor caught in the middle of a soul-crushing, seemingly-unending military conflict.
