After only about two weeks on the market, the run-and-gun shooter Cuphead has reached platinum status in sales after moving more than 1 million combined copies sold on both PC and Xbox One. The game has received critical acclaim from both critics and the public for its detailed cel-animated artsyle — mimicking animation of the 1930s — its constant variety and imaginative design, and its tough-as-nails gameplay.
The team over at Studio MDHR gave a statement on their website regarding the game’s recent milestone and thanked fans for game’s rapid success. Brothers Chad and Jared Moldenhauer of Studio MDHR had this to say:
Hello friends! Cuphead has only been out for two weeks and we never could have dreamed of the reception we’ve received from our amazing fans! Today, we wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your support and we’re excited to share that Cuphead has gone platinum with over 1 million units sold!
We have worked tirelessly over the past few years to deliver a game that remained true to our vision and we are both humbled and excited that so many people from around the world are playing Cuphead – it truly makes it all worth it.
