Supergiant’s Hades Sells 1M Copies

Hades is the latest Roguelike game from Supergiant Games, creator of Bastion, Transistor, and Pyre. Just like its predecessors, Hades has become quite successful both in terms of reviews and sales.

On Sunday, Supergiant announced that sales of Hades have exceeded one million copies. Of these, 700,000 were sold during the early access period which was held from December 6, 2018 to September 16, 2020. The official release took place on September 17 for PC and Nintendo Switch — so Hades sold another 300,000 copies in just three days.

Hades has now sold more than 1,000,000 copies.

700,000 of these were during our Early Access development. To all our Early Access players: Thank you so much. We designed Hades for Early Access, believing you could help us make a better game. That's just what you did. #HadesGame pic.twitter.com/ueuG4lDMz8
