Developer Edmund McMillen, in an interview with The Game Business, disclosed new sales figures for the cat-breeding “roguelike” game Mewgenics.

In the conversation, the developer mentioned that Mewgenics has been purchased over 2 million times. He didn’t specify exactly when the game reached this milestone, but it appears to have happened before the console release in September 2026.
Speaking about Mewgenics sales specifically on consoles, McMillen noted that the performance was "generally decent" but not outstanding. As the developer jokingly added, they should have waited to release this version until the launch of GTA VI, as gamers worldwide are expected to be buying consoles in anticipation.
Nonetheless, McMillen plans to release the console version of The Binding of Isaac: Repentance+ Online on the same day as GTA VI. According to the developer, he isn’t deterred by launching alongside such a major project. He views it as an experiment and wants to see what happens.
"Who knows, will sales go up or down? I think more people will be playing video games that week, and Isaac fans will remain Isaac fans, period. Those actively playing it on Steam will see it’s available on consoles. Once the buzz around [GTA] settles down, people will start looking for something else to play. And Isaac will be right there," McMillen explained.
The developer added that The Binding of Isaac has already had a good year—thanks to the debut of Mewgenics and discounts, the game has attracted renewed attention, and sales for 2026 are expected to total around 5 million copies.
Mewgenics was released on February 10, 2026, and is currently available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch 2.
