Project Cars Roars to Sales of One Million

Slighty Mad Studios' racer Project Cars has sold more than one million copies after its first month of availability.

The crowd-funded title was released for PC, PS4, and Xbox One in early May and publisher Bandai Namco has said it's the highest rated racer on PS4. 

Studio head Ian Bell commented in the press release to mark the sales milestone: “Throughout the development of Project Cars the community were instrumental in guiding the game – giving us feedback daily on each build iteration, telling us what needed improving, highlighting what they’d like to see included, and ultimately approving it as the racing game of their dreams.

"It wasn’t until the first review scores came in that we truly realised how much Project Cars had resonated with both media, racing professionals, and gamers alike around the world," Bell continued. "To now stand here having reached over a million players in such a short time really justifies the work both the team and the community have done over the years and solidifies Project Cars' future as the multi-platform racing experience of choice for fans around the world. And we'll be talking more about that future very, very soon."

Slighty Mad is also working on a Wii U version, but due to technical difficulties the game could skip the platform entirely and launch for Nintendo's upcoming NX system instead.
