Far Far West is no longer just an early access curiosity with a loud Steam launch. The co-op shooter has broken into Steam's top 50 most-played games, landing at No. 46 in Saturday evening chart data after developer Evil Raptor said it sold more than 250,000 copies in its first 48 hours.
On Steam's public most-played chart, Far Far West was a new or returning top-100 entry at the time of Gamers Now's May 2 snapshot, with 40,514 players in-game. The latest completed weekly rollup listed a 35,586-player peak, so the game's opening weekend has already pushed it into a chart band usually crowded by longer-running multiplayer fixtures.
The Steam movement comes one day after Evil Raptor marked the sales milestone in a Steam news post, saying Far Far West had sold over 250,000 copies in two days and thanking players for feedback, clips and bug reports. That sales figure is an official launch update, not an inference from Steam player activity.
A co-op western shooter finds a crowded Steam lane
Far Far West launched on Steam on April 28, according to its store page. Evil Raptor describes it as a one-to-four-player co-op shooter about bounty-hunting robot cowboys taking contracts, fighting monsters, using guns and spells, upgrading gear and extracting alive.
That setup gives the game a clearer pitch than its joke-heavy name suggests. It is using a western wrapper for the same broad Steam audience that keeps co-op shooters, extraction runs and replayable mission games high on the chart. Far Far West is not challenging Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2 or PUBG near the top, but entering the top 50 this soon after launch is a meaningful spotlight for a new paid PC game.
The Saturday chart also makes Far Far West one of the sharper lower-chart stories after the usual giants. Gamers Now's latest weekly Steam chart roundup tracked how unusual jumps can stand out beneath the established leaders. Far Far West fits that pattern in a more launch-driven way, with a new top-100 placement, a top-50 position and an official sales update arriving in the same opening window.
The opening weekend gives Evil Raptor room to build
Steam player counts rise and fall through the day, especially on weekends, but Far Far West now has three stronger launch signals together: it was outside the previous weekly top 100 comparison, it is sitting at No. 46 and its developer has confirmed a 250,000-copy start.
Early access games can climb quickly, then settle once launch-week curiosity cools. Far Far West's stronger position is that Evil Raptor and Fireshine Games now have a real audience to work with as feedback, bug fixes and future updates begin shaping the game's first weeks on Steam.
