Bastion hits the 500K sold milestone

A good many critics were singing the praises of Supergiant Games’ digital treat, Bastion, when it launched back in July of this year, but how many people actually bought it? As it turns out, quite a lot.

Supergiant Games announced today that in the roughly five months since its release, Bastion has sold a respectable 500,000 copies. Considering that Bastion was the product of an indie developer and it only saw a digital release, I’d say that’s quite impressive.

“We’re happy to have this many people playing and to be in a position to make more games on our own terms,” said Bastion creative director Greg Kasavin. “When we set out to make Bastion, a sales number like that seemed astronomical to us, so it feels great to have hit that mark. It goes to show that a lot of folks out there like what we’re doing and want us to keep going, which is great, because we intend to stick together as a team and do just that.”

Bastion is easily one of the greatest digital titles of the year, if not the greatest, so it’s nice to see that it got – and hopefully will continue to get – the recognition from gamers that it deserves.
