Cuphead has sold 5 million copies in two years

The stylish platformer Cuphead is two years old. During this time, its sales reached the mark of 5 million copies.

As the developer of Studio MDHR reported on his Twitter account: “Now it’s a five-time platinum game!” In honor of this event and the anniversary, Cuphead received a 20% discount on all platforms.

Изначально игра выходила лишь на PC и Xbox One, будучи эксклюзивом In the next two years, the game was delivered to Nintendo Switch and Mac and even to Tesla cars, reports Gamesindustry.biz .

5 million copies sold is a really great result for a platformer with an original IP. For example, a fellow Cuphead in the genre — Shovel Knight — sold 2.5 million copies in five years (and it was released on 12 platforms). Sales of another famous game of this genre, Celeste, for the year amounted to 500 thousand copies on PC and all modern consoles.

Let’s add that Cuphead is distinguished by its visual style. Its authors were inspired by the animation of the 30s, including Disney. By the way, former Disney artist Tom Bancroft joined the studio in the summer. He is working on a DLC for Cuphead, which will be released in 2020.
