Mina the Hollower sells 300,000 copies in three days

Mina the Hollower, Yacht Club's Zelda-like action game, sold 300,000 copies in its first three days and is currently tied for the highest-rated game of 2026 on Metacritic. Bloomberg reported the figure. Yacht Club co-founder and director Sean Velasco said he was pleased with the critical response but had hoped for higher sales, adding, "I wonder how come the best-reviewed game of 2026 is not the fastest-selling game, so I feel a big fire lit to close that gap." The game is priced at $20 and notably skipped the usual launch discount on Steam, though it appears in bundles with titles like Mewgenics and No Rest for the Wicked.

SteamDB estimates between 118,000 and 157,000 of the 300,000 copies were sold on Steam. Shovel Knight was supported for years with additional content, spin-offs and the Treasure Trove collection, and Mina is being positioned as the studio's Zelda with potential for long-term support.
