Fantasy Life i has officially surpassed 1.5 million units sold worldwide, marking a significant milestone for Level-5’s latest release. The announcement was shared by the developers alongside the reveal of a brand new commemorative illustration created to thank players for their continued support. The message also encouraged players to keep enjoying the game’s expanded experience, now strengthened by a major free DLC update.
In the announcement, Level-5 stated, “Fantasy Life i has officially surpassed 1.5 million units sold worldwide.” The message continued, “To express our sincere gratitude, we are releasing a brand-new illustration. We hope you continue to enjoy your upgraded ‘slow life’ experience, now enhanced by our major free DLC.” The studio also confirmed that a limited-time sale is currently live, describing it as an opportunity for new players to purchase the game at a discounted price.
Fantasy Life i The Girl Who Steals Time is the sequel to the original Fantasy Life released on Nintendo 3DS. Developed and published by Level-5, the game launched on May 21, 2025, across multiple platforms, including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, and PC. A dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 version followed shortly after, releasing as a launch title on June 5, 2025.
The title blends life simulation mechanics with role-playing progression, allowing players to switch freely between 14 different Lives. These range from combat-focused roles such as Paladin to more relaxed professions like Cook, all while players explore and rebuild a ruined island. A central narrative hook involves traveling 1,000 years into the past, giving players long-term goals tied to restoration and progression rather than constant urgency. It is a structure that encourages extended play sessions, sometimes longer than expected.
Sales momentum has also been supported by post-launch content. Five days prior to the sales announcement, Level-5 released a large free downloadable content update titled The Sinister Broker Bazario’s Schemes. This update expanded the game’s systems and content at no additional cost, adding further value for existing players and strengthening the appeal for new ones during the ongoing sale period.
