AdHoc Studio announced that Dispatch sold more than one million copies in its first ten days after launching on October 22, 2025. The milestone came before the game’s eight-episode rollout was complete: episodes 7 and 8 arrived on November 12. The figure is the studio’s announcement, reported by Game Developer—not an independently audited sales disclosure.
What the one-million milestone means
AdHoc said Dispatch passed one million copies sold within ten days of release. That is a copy-sales figure, not a count of players, views, or revenue. The cited announcement provides no platform-by-platform split, financial breakdown, or independently audited total, so it does not establish how sales were distributed or what the game earned.
The timing matters: on November 5, when the milestone was reported, the episodic release was still in progress. The final two episodes followed a week later.
What kind of game is Dispatch?
Dispatch is a superhero workplace comedy set in modern Los Angeles. Players control Robert Robertson, also known as Mecha Man, and take on the job of dispatching a team of reformed supervillains while navigating workplace relationships and a revenge story. Its design blends a choice-driven narrative with roster management; it is not simply a visual novel or a strategy game.

AdHoc describes its approach as story-driven games where player choices have consequences. In Dispatch, that narrative emphasis sits alongside the practical task of assigning characters to calls and managing the team.
How AdHoc’s Telltale connection fits
AdHoc Studio was founded in 2018 by two directors and two writers, and its team includes former Telltale developers. Dispatch is AdHoc’s debut game, independently published by the studio; it is not a Telltale release, and AdHoc is not Telltale.
The project had an unusual path. AdHoc says Dispatch began as an interactive live-action series, was shelved when live production stopped in 2020, and was revived as an animated video game in October 2022. The studio subsequently secured funding to finish and publish the game in 2025.
AdHoc’s official production notes give the scale of the finished project: 809 credited people, 495 script pages, and 356 minutes of animation. Those figures describe production and credits, not sales or audience size.

How the episodic release unfolded
The PC and PS5 release began on October 22, 2025. AdHoc released episodes in pairs on a weekly cadence, with episodes 7 and 8 completing the rollout on November 12, according to the studio’s patch notes. That gave players a continuing story release rather than all eight episodes at launch.
In an interview with Game Developer, AdHoc co-founder and creative director Nick Herman said, “We haven’t been able to fully enjoy a launch day until today.” The interview discusses the studio’s experience with episodic releases and its decision to use the cadence for Dispatch. The one-million-copy announcement shows that the game reached that reported milestone while episodes were still arriving; it does not, by itself, prove that episodic releases are broadly viable across the industry.

Sales are not the same as players or views
AdHoc’s homepage separately reports more than 4 million players and 4.4 billion views. These are studio-reported audience figures, not copies sold, and the captured homepage text does not state a measurement date. They should not be combined with the ten-day sales milestone as though all three numbers measured the same thing.
