Key takeaways
- 19.99 million+ players worldwide (Bluepoch confirmed)
- Version 3.7 anniversary update releases August 13
- Launched May 2023 in China; global release October 2023; PC in late 2024
- Available on App Store, Google Play, and China third-party Android stores
Reverse: 1999, Bluepoch’s time travel RPG, has reached "more than 19.99 million players around the world," the studio confirmed, and will roll out third-anniversary content on August 13 with its version 3.7 update. The game first launched in May 2023 in China and expanded globally in October 2023, then moved beyond mobile with a PC release in late 2024.
Bluepoch called Reverse: 1999 a time travel title and noted the player base spans mobile and PC. The studio said players can download the game on mobile storefronts including the App Store and Google Play, or play on desktop via a linked account. Bluepoch also pointed out that China’s distribution includes third-party Android stores, so mobile numbers are not limited to those two Western platforms.
The August 13 version 3.7 anniversary update brings new characters Coppélia and Rhiannon, rewards and gacha banners, two additional free playable characters, and a new chapter. It also adds Truth a Posteriori, a resource-management survival mode set in El Dorado. The announcement follows Reverse: 1999’s July collaboration with Mundfish Studio’s Atomic Heart, which placed the gacha cast into Facility 3826.
Why it matters
Takeaway: the 19.99 million tally covers more than just App Store and Google Play installs — it includes PC players and China’s third-party Android channels — so Bluepoch’s cross-platform, linked-account approach appears to be counting all the places people actually play.
