The "Friendslop" game Dear Passengers continues to gain popularity.
Dear Passengers
The studio FLEXUS announced in the event feed of Dear Passengers on Steam that it has reached the milestone of 1.5 million wishlists. They thanked the audience for their interest in the game and added that they are working hard on it every day.
To recap, Dear Passengers is a funny cooperative airplane crew simulator where chaos and mess reign on board. Although it was announced less than a week ago, the game can already be boldly called one of the main phenomena of July on Steam. According to SteamDB, it has managed to climb to 14th place in the top most anticipated projects on the platform, pushing aside Phantom Blade Zero, Persona 4 Revival, and many other titles, and it is possible that it will rise even higher in the near future.
According to estimates from the analytics company Alinea Analytics, Dear Passengers is most commonly wishlisted by residents of the USA, Brazil, and Russia.
As noted by analysts, many gamers interested in the simulator generally love "Friendslop": for instance, 47% of those who added Dear Passengers to their wishlist have played PEAK at some point, and 37% have played Meccha Chameleon. There are also numerous fans of R.E.P.O, RV There Yet?, Content Warning, and Gamble With Your Friends among them. In the opinion of Alinea Analytics, the newcomer could initially show a good conversion of wishlists into sales, but ultimately, it will depend entirely on its pricing—there is a significant risk of alienating the captivated audience if FLEXUS decides to ask for more than $10 for Dear Passengers.
The release of Dear Passengers is expected by the end of 2026, but the exact date is still unknown.
