Three cheese for Mouse: P.I. For Hire, as publisher Playside has revealed that the game is selling pretty well.

According to their latest press release, the boomer-shooter/noir detective game has sold 730,000 copies, enough for the company to upgrade their predicted financial results for the year, which in turn indicates it has probably already exceeded their expectations.

PlaySide says that their date indicates console sales account for 50% of the sales, with the other half being PC.

In total, it has brought in $21.4m in revenue, equalling “Approximately US$13.0m” net profit for PlaySide. PlaySide states that their contract with developer “prioritises the recovery of PlaySide’s milestone payments, publishing and marketing costs from initial sales”. Those expenses have apparently already been recouped.

Playside is now expecting a higher revenue for the year by several million: “The upgrade primarily reflects stronger than-expected unit sales and ongoing wishlist conversion of MOUSE: P.I. For Hire across PC and console platforms.”

“The continued performance of MOUSE: P.I. For Hire has been really pleasing andreflects the strength of the IP, the quality and persistence of effort from all teams, and the depth of player and social engagement we are seeing across every platform,” said Benn Skender, Playside Studios CEO. “The upgrade to FY26 revenue guidance reflects both the title’s launch trajectory and our confidence in its ongoing commercial performance. We remain focused on supporting the title across its full lifecycle while continuing to execute against our broader publishing and development pipeline for Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, the Dumb Ways franchise and Dew.”

I imagine the game will continue to sell strongly throughout the year as the price drops and word of mouth keeps spreading, It’s a great little game, and probably worth playing just for the visual style alone. Of course, you’re still getting a solid shooter and a fun story on top of that.
