I Expect You To Die’s VR escape-room action grosses $3 million

Virtual reality is still a burgeoning market, but developers like Schell Games are finding success. The studio announced today that it has generated $3 million in revenue for its VR hit I Expect You To Die. The spy-themed puzzle adventure was able to reach that milestone by launching across multiple platforms. I Expect You To Die is available for $25 for HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Windows Mixed Reality, and PlayStation VR.

I Expect You To Die puts players in James Bond-style scenarios where they must solve various puzzles to progress. It works as a seated or standing experience. It also focuses on physical interactions. So it plays to the strengths of early VR tech. But the escape-room espionage theme helped it stand apart from the many shooting galleries that are plentiful on VR stores.
