“From the bottom of our grinning hearts, thank you”
Following a 40fps mode update last week, the new noir-style cartoon detective FPS Mouse: P.I. For Hire has now hit a major milestone.
Fumi and PlaySide have revealed the title has officially surpassed one million players since arriving on the Switch 2 and multiple other platforms in April 2026. Here’s the official confirmation, along with a thank you and some custom artwork:
“MOUSE: P.I. For Hire has officially reached over 1 million players across all platforms! A handcrafted tale born of ink, sweat, and stubborn dreams. From the bottom of our grinning hearts, thank you so much for all of your support”
Since the arrival of Mouse: P.I. For Hire, the team has been releasing regular updates to improve the overall experience. This includes the update last week which added not only the “balanced” 40fps mode, but also a “level revisit” feature, weapon wheel upgrades, a control rebind overhaul and more.
If you haven’t already played this one, check out our review. We awarded it nine out of ten stars, calling it a bold risk-taking FPS:
“This animated noir mystery is a great achievement. It takes risks, it’s challenging, it strives to be bold – and it works.”
