Besides the 6.6 million players who initially downloaded the game for free, the publisher revealed that an additional one million copies have been sold. Expressing gratitude to the devoted fan base, Landfall Games stated, "Thank you all so much for liking our scary Iill game."

Developed by a small team, Content Warning was released on April 1 as part of Landfall Games' tradition of launching a game on April Fools' Day. The game's popularity and commercial success are testaments to the creativity and dedication of its creators.
