At the time of writing, the game holds a peak player count of 234,900 players on SteamDB, enough to pass free-to-play Hero shooter Marvel Rivals, which peaked today at 190,000. Schedule I now lingers behind Monster Hunter: Wilds, which has 275,000 players, and continues to hold its #1 spots for "Trending Games", "Popular Releases", and "Hot Releases".

The indie darling is commonly described as a cartoony video-game equivalent of Breaking Bad, exploding in popularity since its March 24 early-access launch. On day one, the game peaked at 116,000 players, with 4,000 'overwhelmingly positive' reviews. Since then, player counts have effectively doubled, while holding its 95% positive score over 16,000 ratings.

The game places the player in the role of a low-level criminal in the town of Hyland Point, where players work their way up from small-time criminal, to a high level drug runner. The title incorporates various base management, and simulation mechanics, along with managing your crew, and on-foot distribution.

A casual hit among streamers, single-player and multiplayer gamers - Schedule I can also be experienced in co-op, enabling you to live out your Walter and Jesse fantasies with your friends.

Australian Indie studio TVGS has been offering the title for 15% off for the first week following its launch. At this stage, the game's breakthrough shows no signs of slowing down.
