Manor Lords.

What you need to know

  • After several years of development, Slavic Magic solo developer Greg Styczeń has finally released Manor Lords, a medieval city-builder passion project, in Early Access on Steam, GOG, the Microsoft Store, and PC Game Pass.
  • The game has been the most wishlisted game on Steam for some time now, and post-launch, has quickly become the top selling game on the platform.
  • It's also become one of Steam's most-played games right now as well, with 158,698 concurrent players in-game at the time of writing. That puts it above both Helldivers 2 and the resurgent Fallout 4.
  • Eventually, Manor Lords will come to Xbox and the console version of Game Pass. It will also be updated over time with new mechanics and fresh gameplay features while it's in Early Access. The game is $40, though it's discounted to $30 until May 10 as part of a launch sale.
