Cuphead has sold one million copies on Steam

StudioMDHR's classic run and gun action game, Cuphead, has sold one million copies on Steam.

[Automatic79]

Congratulations Studio MDHR great to see your success.

[darthv72]

It's a really good game and well deserving of every sale.

[JaguarEvolved]

It's a good thing it was available on steam for sale

[Automatic79]

@darth

This game sold over two million across both platforms. Xbox over 1 million in sales

[combatcash]

Picked it up on Xbox one, first game I buy for it in a while, a very beautiful and frustrating game lol 😂

[kevnb]

@Automatic79 source? Its been selling better on pc from day 1. Its also on gog and the windows store, though i suspect steam has the bulk of pc sales gog sales are not insignificant (im guessing at least 100 000 sales on gog). Don't believe me? Read the article, when they hit a million atleast 60 percent of sales were on pc.

Edit: wow, disagrees for telling the truth while someone making stuff up gets all the agrees.

[butchertroll]

@Automatic

Source on your claim about over 1 mil. sales on Xbone?

Better provide some source otherwise.....you just proved how Xbone fans love to spew shit over and over.

Anyway, game is great. So glad it sold well.

[zackeroniii]

How much did they sell on xbox?

[darthv72]

A guess would be around 250-300k

[Elda]

It's evident it wasn't a million.

[kevnb]

probably still a decent number, maybe 600 to 800k depending on how strong windows store and gog sales were.

[darthv72]

Whoops... I guessed wrong. I was thinking back to when it hit a million and was said that PC accounted for over 60% of sales. Even then that would have been about 350-400k so it has to be more by now. At least double my initial guess.

[Seafort]

@GameBro Wrong. Only if Microsoft published the game on PC would they get any money.

On steam and GoG the developer self published so no money for MS.

Windows Store is irrelevant on PC.

[KillBill]

@Seafort - I have to assume their deal goes beyond merely publishing seeing that MS had so much more input than simply any other publisher. They actually supported the development side of the house too.

[Cobra951]

Seafort, MS helped fund the game's development. You don't know the financial agreements the parties entered into, to make that funding possible. Neither do I. So maybe Microsoft get a cut of every sale, anywhere, or maybe they don't. My guess is that they do.

[DiRtY]

60% on PC --> 40% on Xbox One.
1,000,000 on PC --> around ~665k on Xbox One.

Maths!

[Jinger]

@Dirty

Your maths is forgetting a couple variables. GOG and Windows Store.

[gangsta_red]

I nearly had a heart attack fighting that roller coaster clown boss.

[Gazondaily]

I'm on that boss now. Triple bypass incoming ...

[TheMuffDiver]

Use the charge attack it makes everything easier.

[FITgamer]

Lol You don't even know. Wait until you get the next island.

[ziggurcat]

beppi is nothing compared to grim matchstick or dr. kahl.

[Cyborgg]

Yup the BEST game on the Beast

[morganfell]

"Yup the BEST game on the Beast"

Let me see if I have this straight. A game that sold more on PC and looks better on PC is the best thing on the X1X? I guess you are right.

[Gazondaily]

@Morgan

A game that sold more? What bearing does that have on the game ?

And looks better on PC? I didn't realise all Pc's had the same universal specs?

You lot have lost it

[Ricegum]

Septic

No. Those lot haven't lost it. He makes a valid point, whether you like that or not.

[Kribwalker]

i’m stuck on the candy lady. always die at the last part

[FullmetalRoyale]

That sounds awesome.

*NOT you having a heart attack.

[StarElite]

Just wait until you get to the giant robot.

[Jinger]

What part are you having trouble on? The second part where he drops down with the horse is easy. Get underneath him and blast him with the 3-way shot. The final part I would use your invincibility power and lay into him, shouldn't have too much health after you get done with that power.

[PhoenixUp]

This game has sold better on Steam than it has on XboxOne and Windows Store

[MadLad]

To be fair, nobody uses the WIndows Store, and Cup Head runs on virtually anything. There's a much larger install base to work with when it comes to PC. Just basic numbers. To be fair though, the PC community, as a whole, tends to lean more towards hardcore experiences than the average console player.

That's not speaking of them all, of course.
The majority who come to this site most definitely fall into the "hardcore" category, and this is, most definitely, a console-centric base.

[MASTER_RAIDEN]

i actually ended up buying it on the windows store lol. i used my laptop to play up until the xb1x came out. for what its worth, buying it through the windows store was a seamless process. I would use it again if i had to.

[MadLad]

Congratulations.
While I have yet to play the game, myself (not the biggest fan of 2D action/platforms), it is obvious you released a fantastic title.

Glad the hard work is securing your future projects.

[chrisx]

The dragon in the clouds boss was crazy, also the car driving roller coaster boss. Whew. Well deserved.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

I barely survived that monster

[guyman]

I dont know how i managed to beat those bosses to this day

[bolimekurac]

the game is a instant classic. now we just need a cuphead 2 that gives us more. more levels, more powers, more platforming levels and more bosses.

[Dlaw76]

1.5 million on Da X congrats to MDHR looking forward to what you working on next

[OMGitzThatGuy]

Nani?!?

[Dlaw76]

I know how it makes you feel

[Jinger]

Uh, what? Steam sold a million... I'd say the Xbox version would be closer to 500-600k

[Dlaw76]

How u figure that out I work in a Microsoft store

[Jinger]

@Dlaw

Huh? You work in a MS store so you know how well a game is selling worldwide?

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Super happy to see them have that kind of success!

[cfc83]

Probably sold at least 1m on xbox.

[Ricegum]

Not a chance 😂

More in the range of 500k to 600k.

[TheColbertinator]

Microsoft needs to smell the coffee and get their entire lineup on Steam ASAP

[jznrpg]

Not much to add

[Araragifeels]

You mean there nothing to add.

[Ricegum]

Haha.

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

they have nothing to add 😂

[ErogeMaster]

I guess to make a game successful means u gotta put ur house on line.

[marquisray]

how many have it sold on ps4 lol

[Pancit_Canton]

It could probably sold more than those 3 platform combined. StudioMDHR got blinded by money. They literally sold their soul to the devil. Kinda like the subtitle for the cuphead .lol

[HyperMouse]

So MS is the devil and Sony is what?, MS helped them finish the game and get it out there same as respawn and TF1, Sony also pays devs for exclusives much more than MS

[Pancit_Canton]

@HyperMouse

"MS helped them finish the game" You mean, give them money to secure time exclusivity. The game was both developed and published by StudioMDHR, MS has nothing to do with this game except for that "funding".

"same as respawn and TF1" You mean, give money to EA secure exclusivity.

[vega275]

@ pancit_canton.

Differences is MS isn't asking them to give up their IP and are allowing them to put on steam and other pc platforms. The devs thanked ME because they wouldn't be able to make they game they wanted to with the help of MS.

[TheColbertinator]

Why is MHDR on trial here? Microsoft gave them a good opportunity,provided advertising not to mention the tech and finally allowed them to sell the game on Steam and GOG to maximize sales.

They did nothing wrong.

[jmetalhead77812]

@marquisray @Pancit_Canton

Thanks fellas for you pathetic fanboy exchange.

[Jinger]

It would not have sold more than those 3 platforms on just PS4... Be real here. Larger install base =/= highest sales. Just look at Hellblade, that's on PS4 and PC and they finally just now broke 500k after almost 4 months... Cuphead hit a 1mil just on PC in under 2 months.

[ziggurcat]

great game, it deserves all of the success it receives.

[Usperg]

Well done to them, nice to read some good news for once!

[sazselesbon]

KNOCK OUT!! Well done! Amazing game.

[mandingo]

This is why Xbox play anywhere is great.

[MasterCornholio]

Correct me if I'm wrong but that's only the Windows store version of the game.

[Ricegum]

No you're right. Don't know why someone disagreed.

[Jinger]

Correct. That being said I bought it digital on my Xbox and it was simple enough to just download on my PC and play it there. Really nice feature.

[mandingo]

Ah yes you are correct.

[Razzer]

Nice! Selling over a million is quite an accomplishment.

[DialgaMarine]

Release it on PS4 and I’ll be your next customer.

[Ricegum]

I got it on Steam. £9 on CD Keys is a bargain!

[DialgaMarine]

Yeah, but I typically only play multiplats on PlayStation.

[showtimefolks]

Good deserve all the success hopefully down the road it can come to ps4 and switch

Gamers should be able to enjoy regardless of platform

[quent]

Well deserved, can't wait for they're next project

[MunchMiller00]

Crazy. Who knew that a platform where everyone is (supposedly) a pirate, would sell 1M copies of anything. What's the world coming to?

Sarcasm aside, Well deserved. A refreshing game that is highly recommended and awesome. These people actually deserve our money. Unlike some others, who will remain nameless.

[opinionated]

That's awesome news. I haven't picked it up yet because I have so many games but I plan too. On the xbox though, not steam.

[Ricegum]

Well done for clarifying that Xbox part. Whatever would we have done if we didn't know.

[opinionated]

You would have been ignorant still I guess... Your welcome. You like that feeling when actual facts are thrown at you? it’s like the impact blows trees back and cracks statues.

[sk8ofmnd]

Truly an amazing game. Is this timed exclusive? I watched my brother play it on his computer

[Redgehammer]

Its locked down as a Xbox console exclusive. It is an amazing game, drives me crazy., though.

[Jon_Targaryen]

Still hoping for a MP Co-Op patch someday.

[TheOttomatic91]

Yep I knew as soon as Cuphead was going to be on Steam and not Win 10 exclusive it would be a success

[Valkron1]

I’m still having problems playing it on my PS4 Pro. I thought this thing played all exclusives.....

[Ricegum]

Wut?

[guyman]

Cuphead is brilliant, well deserved

i need to finish act 3 asap

[FernDiggidy]

Well deserved!

[UCForce]

Nicely done, my friend.

[demonicale]

I bought an X at laugh and this is my most played game so far. I love the fact it's very hard and keeps making me improve to pass each level. Sometimes it's 20+ goes on one level before i can pass it ... love this game.

[boing1]

Hopefully the exclusivity ends soon because these guys deserve more sales.

[drunkenspy007]

The one game I initially thought about getting an xbox for, so glad it was on steam!

[The_Kills]

EA CEO had a nightmare that his company released this game. Couldn't come to terms with how he managed to let a dev studio get away with no micro transactions in a game..
