Roughly a month into the early access phase of Paralives’ launch, having released on May 25th 2026, the life simulation from indie company Paralives Studio has now reached a major milestone; 1 million copies sold! While millions of copies are standard for large studios and AAA Publishers, Paralives Studio initially had a goal of selling 100,000 copies, which was blown out of the water within the first ten days.
Alex Massรฉ, speaking with Journalist Marie-Anne Lapierre, on Canadian Broadcast Channel LCN to discuss the success of Paralives on June 10th, 2026.
Just earlier this month, Paralives Studio founder Alex Massรฉ appeared on Canadian Broadcast Channel LCN (Le Canal Nouvelles) to discuss the resounding success stemming from the release of the life simulation game, discussing that they had reached 900k copies and how exciting it was for the Quebec studio with a game taking so much inspiration from their home province and country.

I'm a life simulation and story game connoisseur, and it all started when I fell in love with the Sims and the Sims 2 almost twenty years ago! In my free time, I enjoy gaming, spending time with my partner and cats, going out with friends, and latching on to any hobby that sparks my interest (but usually not for long!). Dag dag!
