Schedule I topped Steam's sales charts upon its launch, surpassing big titles like Monster Hunter Wilds, GTA 5, and Marvel Rivals after going viral across social media, Twitch, and YouTube. In the game, players start as a small-time drug dealer and work their way up to becoming a kingpin, managing the production and distribution of various drugs in the gritty city of Hyland Point.
