“Gamble With Your Friends Hits 1 Million Sales – Friendslop No Longer a Bad Word!”
Big news for gamers! The quirky party game Gamble With Your Friends has just hit a major milestone, selling over 1 million copies within its first week after launching on PC. This exciting update was shared by the Swedish developers at Tenstack through their Steam page, where they celebrated the journey post-launch.
In their message, developer SkyBrave expressed their sheer joy and surprise at the overwhelming response, stating, “We’re sooo happy and speechless by the positive reception our game has gotten so far! More than 1 million gamblers have entered Jeff Booth’s Paradise since last Friday!” They also acknowledged player feedback, assuring fans that the team is actively working on fixing reported bugs.
Launched on May 1, 2026, this online co-op game is priced at $7.99. But don’t worry—there’s no real-money gambling involved! Instead, players team up, sharing a fictional bank account as they try to escape the clutches of a loan shark through hilarious in-game antics. With 1 to 6 players, you can earn currency daily to deck yourself out in cosmetics or snag wild items, like a gun to prank your friends or even a time machine to undo those risky bets.
Interestingly, the term “friendslop,” initially used as a jab at these types of games, has now been reclaimed by the community. Developers Yiğit Doruk and Erik Levin de Verdier shared that it started as a derogatory term but has evolved into a badge of honor, showcasing a new sub-genre of fun, casual games that bring people together.
As Tenstack reflected on their unexpected success, they noted that their game could have easily gone unnoticed in a parallel universe. “We’re thankful for our hard work combined with a bit of luck that made this game a hit,” they said. They also credited their mentors and community support for helping them create a fun experience.
So, what’s next for Gamble With Your Friends? While the team recently released a patch with bug fixes and quirky additions like scoring on the basketball court using your friend’s head, Tenstack has no specific roadmap for future updates. They view their game as a complete package rather than a live service, taking cues from other indie developers who prioritize quality content.
With a focus on polishing the game and improving player experience, Tenstack is committed to ensuring that both new and returning players have a blast. According to them, it’s all about creating digestible games that respect the player’s time and money—games that are fun in short bursts without dragging on.
As they gear up for more projects, Tenstack is genuinely thrilled about the positive reception of Gamble With Your Friends and eager to keep innovating in the gaming space. Here’s to more fun games in the future!
