I would like to know if there is any other indie indie ps+ game that reached that number. The number is easy to dismiss because of PS+ but I doubt that many other games have reached that mark.
And it's still 500k on PC, another mark most indies wish they would achieve. Wouldn't surprise me if the original didn't even have 100k downloads.

Most new games don't release on PS+ right from the bat though. This game also had a higher budget than your average indie game.

The game got a lot of media attention and worth of mouth because of the free promotion (and being good), that will have helped the PC version as well, no doubt.

It also helps that this is an online multiplayer game, that makes it more mainstream these days.

I love how "being good" is just a little parenthesis, even though it is the sole reason it's getting media attention, and why Sony picked it up as a PS+ title, and it's why it has so good word of mouth.
