Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, the CRPG from Owlcat Games with a sequel on the way in the form of Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, has today announced a huge milestone – it’s sold 2 million copies. As well as that, a new physical edition has been announced, and for the first time, players can choose to own it and place it on their shelf, starting October 26th. Full details below.
Per Owlcat Games:
“Abelard, Announce That Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Has Sold More Than 2 Million Copies!”
A physical edition will also arrive on PlayStation 5 and Switch 2 this October
Nicosia, Cyprus (June 24, 2026) | Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, Owlcat Games’ celebrated CRPG set in the Darkness of the 41st Millennium, has reached another important milestone with more than 2 million copies sold across PC and consoles. Additionally, the game will receive a physical debut this October in collaboration with Silver Lining, as the Voidfarer Edition launches on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2.
Since Rogue Trader’s launch in 2023, more than 2 million players have become captains of their own voidships, recruited a crew of strong and fanatical companions (whilst also becoming intimately acquainted with many of them), and built their own private empire in the Koronus Expanse. The game has since gone on to launch three expansive DLCs, all completely integrated into the main story, alongside new companions, quests, and mechanics, with more on the horizon.
Players have been contributing a myriad of feedback on what they love and hate (Footfall Sewers take the prize for most hated location by a country mile) and what they would like to see in the game. For example, companions and how well they are written are one of the most important aspects of the game. The companion deemed the most interesting is still Seneschal Abeldard, who takes his duty to represent the von Valancius dynasty very seriously indeed, and there are still many players whose dearest wish is to be able to romance Sister Argenta…
Starting October 15, 2026, prospective players and collectors on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 will also have the opportunity to purchase a physical edition of the game, for the very first time. Produced by Silver Lining, the physical Voidfarer Edition contains the main game, both Void Shadows and Lex Imperialis DLCs, as well as a number of digital goods and exclusive in-game items.
New players and fans of the franchise should also keep an eye on the Steam Summer Sale running from Today to July 9.
