Bastion Hits Half a Million Downloads Mark

Supergiant Games has a lot to celebrate this week, after their hugely successful Xbox Live Arcade/Steam title made it to the 500,000 downloads mark. 


Bastion benefited from a serge in downloads over the holiday period on both the Steam and Xbox Live Arcade platforms, which the team have announced in a celebratory post on their Supergiant Games site. The team state that "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."



Not only has the downloads hit an impressive milestone, but Bastion has also been critically acclaimed, been nominated for Game of the Year awards, and has gained special mentions on a whole host of gaming websites and publications.


It seems that Supergiant Games will be off to a promising start to 2012!
