With the release of Project CARS last month, Slightly Mad Studios has announced the game has sold over 1 Million units in just under a month. The sales are across all platforms including PC. With Xbox 360 and PS3 not being developed, that amount of sales in a month for only three platforms really is an impressive feat. The Wii U version is all but cancelled, with official news hinging on Nintendo NX news at or around E3. Ian Bell issued a lengthy statement on the game’s success which you can read below. Project CARS is available now on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
“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. Even with this amount of early indication that the bold, ambitious vision we had was on track to be something that would truly stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the existing leading titles in the genre, 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. 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”
