No Rest for the Evil Developer assures console gamers that they haven't been forgotten

In a two-year anniversary announcement shared via Steam, Moon Studios recently assured console gamers that they haven't been forgotten. However, the Austrian developer stopped short of giving any new details about when No rest for the wicked expected to expand beyond PC. The studio also said it was “hard at work” on the 1.0 version of the game and thanked Early Access players for their support, indicating that their feedback had been instrumental in shaping No rest for the wickeds early access patch 1 and every update since then. The anniversary announcement also included a commercial update saying the game's sales are now north of 1.7 million.

Extensive console ports had been part of Moon Studios' plans from the beginning. But that outlook changed slightly in July 2025, when the developer indicated No rest for the wicked might skip the Xbox at launch, citing “market conditions” as the main reason for prioritizing the PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2. Elaborating on that point, CEO Thomas Mahler noted the added technical burden of simultaneously optimizing for the Xbox Series X and the less powerful Series S as a notable resource strain on Moon Studios' modest workforce of about 80 people.

No rest for the wicked already has a page on the PlayStation Store, albeit one without a content rating or pre-order option. Mahler has previously said that Moon Studios intends to release the 1.0 build before the game comes to additional platforms, thereby avoiding the more demanding certification processes of the console manufacturers, who tend to be far less accommodating to early access titles than Valve is. The “Together” co-op update, which Mahler identified as a key prerequisite for console readiness, was rolled out to Steam players in January 2026.

The road to 1.7 million sales was not without turbulence. In May 2025, No rest for the wickedAccording to Mahler's negative Steam reviews, Moon Studios is in danger of being shut down. The situation stabilized, and the numbers now tell a markedly different story, with the Early Access RPG boasting “Very Positive” player reviews as of April 2026, based on more than 25,300 user submissions. Commercial momentum also appears to be accelerating; No rest for the wicked took 20 months to reach 1 million sales, averaging 50,000 copies a month, before adding another 700,000 over the next four months. That represents a 250% increase in its monthly sales pace since early 2026.
