Cities: Skylines hits another sales milestone

STOCKHOLM – April 14, 2015 –
Paradox Interactive and Colossal Order, the city building genre’s new ‘It’ couple, have today revealed that Cities: Skylines, the monumentally successful city simulation game for PC, Mac and Linux has smashed through the 1 million sales barrier since its release on March 10.

Widely hailed as the new benchmark for the genre, Cities: Skylines has captured the gaming public’s imagination with a staggering 33,000 mods having been created to date and made available via the Steam Workshop, with an average of 21,000 concurrent players continuously online since launch.

Commenting on the continued success of the game, CEO of Paradox Interactive Fredrik Wester said, “We continue to be amazed at just how players have embraced Cities: Skylines. The game is still selling at a steady pace, which is remarkable for a game that has been on sale for well over a month. Once again, we want to thank everyone that has supported and continues to support this game.”

Cities: Skylines is now available for purchase for $29.99, with a deluxe edition available for $39.99 that includes five in-game historical monuments.

I bought this game last week... after 5 minutes it was painfully obvious that my old winXP from 2006 had troubles opening chrome, let alone a game. This game gave me the excuse I was looking for to go buy a new shinny piece of kit. So first post and all that... thanks!

Damn, steamspy is so powerful and accurate, paradox was very happy in announcing the cities figures, providing hard evidence for the predictive ability of steamspy, this is going to provide so much shitposting ammo for discussions.
No doubt collosal order is hiring right now, just like how Larian did after DOS.
 
Congratulations! Well deserved indeed.
 
Would like to add my congratulations. I'm not crazy about it, I play it for something to do.

This is a very nice aspect of the game, some are crazy about it, but if you don't it is still a great game to play here and there. Just a very chill game to play from time to time without having the feeling you need to finish it asap.

Done a similar thing, my laptop is only 4 years old, but was never made for such a workout at all. New powerhouse laptop is coming this weekend :)
 
Congrats, a well built game with an expected bright future. Keep on working like this and it'll definitely be radiant.
