Hollow Knight Has Sold More Than 1 Million Copies on PC
That's more than 1.25 million on all platforms.
Hollow Knight has apparently been quite the success for developer Team Cherry. Speaking with Kotaku, co-director Ari Gibson revealed the Metroidvania game surpassed 1 million sales on PC after launching just over a year ago.
"Hollow Knight's success has in large part been driven by [its] many fans on PC, with the game having now sold over 1 million copies for Windows, Mac, [and] Linux (crossing that mark just [one] day before the Nintendo Switch launch)," said Gibson, referring to Hollow Knight's June 12 Switch release.
Just last week, Team Cherry revealed that Hollow Knight had reached 250,000 sales on Switch in its first two weeks on the Nintendo system. Combined with PC, that puts the game at over 1.25 million total copies sold across both platforms.
"We've never publicly mentioned hitting the million mark on PC, so that is another big milestone," Gibson told Kotaku. "We hit that [three] weeks ago, and it kinda flew under our radar because of the madness around E3/Switch launch."
In IGN's Hollow Knight review, we praised the way the game establishes "a distinct sense of place."
