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 previously unthinkable given the genre's reputation.

What the announcement covers

• One million units sold, confirmed by Black Tabby Games
• The studio notes the milestone is accompanied by what they describe as critical and audience acclaim
• A collaboration with Fangamer on merchandise is in progress, expected late Spring/early Summer
• The penultimate chapter of the studio's other project, Scarlet Hollow, is stated to be releasing in eleven days from the announcement date
• The first chapter of Slay the Princess remains available as a free demo on Steam, with saves carrying over to the paid release

In their statement, the developers frame the achievement explicitly against industry skepticism toward visual novels — a genre they say is frequently dismissed. The sales figure, they write, has materially changed their circumstances and their capacity to take creative risks.

For players who have not yet played, the free demo entry point remains in place. For those already familiar with Black Tabby's work, the announcement signals a studio with the stability to see its projects through.
