Torchlight Hits One Million Sales Across Platforms
We already knew that indie developer Runic was quite pleased with the performance of its excellent dungeon crawler Torchlight on Xbox Live Arcade. Now they have another milestone to help explain why they're so happy.
GameSpot reports that Runic's first downloadable game has now reached one million sales across PC, Mac, and Xbox 360. Runic did not offer a direct breakdown of which platform had the most sales, but Torchlight has been available on PC since October of 2009 and just hit Xbox 360 this past March.
Torchlight II is scheduled to be released this fall. I can only hope that the success of the first game leads to even more people checking out the sequel, because this is one indie game that totally deserves the buzz.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
