Blue Prince reached 2 million players, as revealed by the game’s art director, Davide Pellino, in a video published on Blender’s official YouTube channel on Sept. 18, 2025, featuring a discussion of the game’s development at Blender Conference 2025.
The title was released on April 10, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Windows PC and Xbox Series X|S.
In Blue Prince, the player takes the role of Simon P. Jones, who has inherited the Mt. Holly Estate, a mansion owned by his deceased great uncle Herbert S. Sinclair.
The one stipulation in Herbert’s will is that Simon must locate a hidden 46th room within the mansion to secure his inheritance. Failure to reach that room within the span of a single day means Simon must start the search fresh the next day, as the house’s architecture is rearranged overnight.
While discovering the 46th room is the primary goal of the game, the story of Blue Prince contains other mysteries that the player can discover.
Developed by Dogubomb and published by Raw Fury, the game received a “Must-Play” badge from Metacritic, along with a Metascore of 92 points based on 55 critic reviews.
