It's coming to steam?

Yep. Already before the XBLA release they said that they were working on getting the game to PCs and the official announcement came only about 2 weeks after the XBLA release.

Gamasutra report should be out any day now (hopefully).

Here's a special update though:

 

Trials: Evolution leaderboards show more than one million bikers


 

It would appear Trials: Evolution has exceeded one million copies sold, based on current leaderboard data. 1,001,095 players have so far been recorded on the global leaderboards.

Ubisoft's last update on sales figures was three weeks after Trials: Evolution launched, when RedLynx's latest hit the half-million mark. Trials: Evolution also established the record for "highest grossing day-sales in Xbox Live Arcade history" before Minecraft came in and shattered it.

I'll just repeat what I said on my wall:

Woohoo! Well deserved. This reminds me that I still haven't got 100% gamerscore in it yet like I do with Trials HD...hmm..



As predicted last month was pretty slow:

Highlights:

- Free2Play game Happy Wars has received over 750k leaderboard entries in its first month
- Minecraft now has 5.1m gamers on its leaderboard (no official sales update yet)

One of the best threads I've seen. It is nice to see someone tracking digital sells. I'd love to see vgchartz to start doing this since games are now going more and more digital. And a lot of this games are huge.




       

November update time !

Highlights:
- Minecraft hits almost 4.5m
- Happy Wars breaks the million (not that surprising for a F2P game, but still good)
- Trials Evolution also gets over a million leaderboard entries


November is usually a rather slow time for digital sales. This trend continues this year.

Future additions will include Magic The Gathering 2013 and Rock Band Blitz.



Minecraft hits 5m sales on New Year's Eve !
