Transistor, the second game from independent developer Supergiant Games, has sold over 600,000 copies across Steam and PlayStation Store combined since its launch back in May 2014.
Supergiant’s Greg Kasavin revealed the game’s sales in blog post which also revealed that Bastion, the studio’s first game, had sold over 3 million copies.
“The launch of Transistor back in May of last year was a big deal for our small studio, as it was our next original game following the success of our first game, Bastion,” wrote Kasavin. “Bastion’s success exceeded our wildest fantasies by quite a bit – it’s sold more than 3 million copies to date, the majority of which happened many months after the game first came out on Xbox 360 and PC.
“So, we were very happy to see Transistor selling even faster relative to Bastion during the first couple of months after its launch. With the new year upon us, we checked our spreadsheets, rubbed our eyes, checked our spreadsheets again and can now report that, thus far, Transistor has sold well over 600,000 copies between Steam and the PlayStation Store!”
Kasavin added: “Word-of-mouth is what kept Bastion going for way, way longer than we could have imagined, and it’s what’s kept Transistor going strong, too.”
