Slay the Princess Crosses One Million Units Sold

Black Tabby Games has announced that Slay the Princess — The Pristine Cut has surpassed one million units sold, a threshold the studio's founders, Tony and Abby, describe as something they previously thought unachievable.

In their announcement, the developers reflect on the particular weight of the milestone: visual novels occupy a frequently dismissed corner of the industry, and seeing one reach this level of commercial and critical reception carries specific meaning for a studio that has built its identity around the format.

What the announcement includes

• Confirmation that total sales have officially passed one million units
• A note that the milestone has "permanently altered" the trajectory of the studio
• A tease of upcoming merchandise being developed with Fangamer, expected late Spring or early Summer
• A reminder that the penultimate chapter of their other project, Scarlet Hollow, releases in eleven days from the announcement date
• A mention that the first chapter of the game remains available as a free demo on Steam, with saves carrying over to the paid release

For players who have yet to engage with the game, the free demo entry point remains in place — a structure the studio has maintained as a low-barrier introduction to its work.

For those who followed the game's development, the number confirms that a thoughtfully made visual novel, built outside the mainstream, can find an audience large enough to reshape what a small studio believes is possible.
