Cuphead, the frenetic, punishing platformer from Studio MDHR, has done alright for itself. That goes without saying. But now we can quantify “alright” with a number: three million. Yep, that’s how many copies of the game have been sold on PC and Xbox One combined.

Playing Cuphead is like a stage performance; every mistake is embarrassing, but the curtain call of each defeated boss is like nothing else.”]
Studio MDHR accomplished this “triple platinum” feat in just over ten months, according to a blog post on the company’s website. To mark the occasion, it ran a discount on the game… which appears to have ended.
The good news is if you missed it, Studio MDHR is also celebrating with a giveaway, which is ongoing until August 17 (timezone unknown, but let’s assume PST).
