Viral superhero game Dispatch already sold over 1 million copies — and that's without Xbox support

2025 has been a massive year for video games, and another success story seems to be blooming. Developer AdHoc Studio shared on Monday via Bluesky that its narrative-focused superhero game Dispatch has sold over a million copies since launching 10 days ago.

What makes this even more impressive is the fact that the game hasn't entirely launched yet. Dispatch is being released episodically, with two episodes arriving every week until all eight episodes are playable.

As of right now, four episodes are available, so Dispatch selling a million copies with half the game still yet to come is pretty cool to see.

Dispatch is similar to games released by Telltale Games, with many of the team at AdHoc Studio actually hailing from the former iteration of Telltale. While AdHoc Studio initially partnered with the revived Telltale to work on The Wolf Among Us 2, this new game is both developed and published entirely by AdHoc.

It's also worth noting that the game is not currently available on Xbox Series X|S (or, for that matter, Nintendo Switch 2). Dispatch is, however, currently available on PlayStation 5 and Windows PC via Steam.

I'm eager to check it out, and I hope it comes to Xbox in the future

Dispatch is set in a world of superheroes, with players controlling Robert, who was previously a hero named Mecha Man. Robert starts working in hero management, dispatching different team members to respond to crimes, all while trying to deal with his own problems.

While I'll freely admit Dispatch initially went by me just due to how many games launched in October, I've heard some extremely positive chatter over the last couple of weeks (as well as seeing a hero named Invisigal, who's certainly caught my attention,) and I've bought a copy in order to check it out myself.

I've enjoyed many of Telltale's games, but none so much as The Wolf Among Us. If this game can capture some of that same spark, then I'm sure it'll be a good time.

I also certainly hope that an Xbox version of Dispatch will arrive sooner rather than later. I never mind double-dipping on these sorts of games as long as they are good, and it would be a shame for Xbox players to miss out on what is easily becoming the biggest game in this genre in a long, long time.
