As 2026 unfolds, gaming enthusiasts reflect on past achievements while eagerly anticipating future developments. For AdHoc Studio, creators of the hit game Dispatch, the new year began on a high note. The studio shared a video detailing impressive player statistics and revealed that Dispatch has surpassed 3 million copies sold worldwide.
Player Engagement and Choices
The developers expressed gratitude to their vibrant community, who have collectively dispatched over 1 billion heroes, completed 52.5 million shifts, and answered 727 million distress calls. The game’s unique narrative-driven elements have led to intriguing player decisions: 2.8 million players opted to cut Coupe from Z-Team, while 1.6 million chose Sonar. On the other hand, 2.3 million players recruited Waterboy, and 2 million added Phenomaman. Invisigal emerged as a fan favorite, with 2.4 million players choosing to retain her on the team, compared to the 1.1 million who did not. Additionally, Invisigal proved more popular in romantic storylines than Blonde Blazer, with 0.9 million more players choosing her, while 164,000 players preferred staying single.
Streamed Content and Future Prospects
In addition to its impressive sales, Dispatch has become a viral sensation, amassing over 23 million hours of viewership on platforms like YouTube and Twitch. This extensive engagement underscores the game’s success and popularity. The fact that Dispatch is not yet available on subscription services like PS Plus or Xbox Game Pass highlights the significance of its sales achievement. AdHoc Studio, comprising former Telltale developers, has successfully melded narrative depth with interactive gameplay to create a standout title.
Recognized as one of the best adventure games of 2025 and a top overall game, Dispatch is set to expand its reach. With a planned release on Nintendo Switch 2 on January 29, 2026, the game is poised to welcome a fresh wave of players. As the gaming community anticipates what comes next from AdHoc Studio, there’s hope that the quality and innovation seen in Dispatch will continue to evolve in future projects.
