When the Wasteland 2 Kickstarter began, it had the ambitious goal of raising $900,000, more than double the stated goal for the Double Fine Adventure. However, inXile entertainment reached their stated goal in only a couple days, and reached a million dollars with a full month left in the Kickstarter.

There have been over 17,000 backers of Wasteland 2 so far, of which over half have contributed $15 in order to receive a digital copy of the game. The greatest prize, which included a private invitation to a party with Brian Fargo, Alan Pavlish and other key members of the Wasteland team and the promise of an in-game shrine, has already sold out with eight people having promised $10,000 or more towards the game.
