RevenueReported
Over 12 million lifetime players (Velan official, at shutdown); 5 million players within ~2 weeks of launch
knockoutcity.com

Player counts are Velan-official; no revenue/F2P-conversion figures were ever published (free-to-play from June 2022 — no unit-price gross estimate applicable). Launched at $19.99/$29.99 with a 10-day free 'Block Party' trial (May 21-30, 2021) that drove the 5M spike; also on Xbox Game Pass and EA Play. Went fully free-to-play with Season 6 (June 1, 2022) as Velan took over publishing from EA. Servers closed June 6, 2023 — Velan cited a 'dramatic' drop in retention and monetization by Aug 2022 (worsened by global inflation hitting F2P spending) and said the needed systemic changes were 'virtually impossible' for a small indie on a live game. A free offline Private Hosted Server Edition for PC keeps it playable.
