Original (8/30): Sea of Stars has only just come out, yet it seems to be doing quite well for itself. Reviews for the title have been favorable, and Sabotage Studio have just announced that the game has sold 100,000 copies across all platforms within one day of its release.

Sea of Stars is an indie turn-based RPG, inspired by many older JRPG classics such as Super Mario RPG, Illusion of Gaia, and Chrono Trigger. For being a relatively small production, reaching this milestone on the first day of release is something to be celebrated, with the developers having gone online to thank fans for their support of the game.

You can check out their thank-you message below.

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster three million

Sales of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series have surpassed three million units, Square Enix just announced. That’s up from the two million milestone announced back in May.

Today’s number applies to the combined performance on Switch, PlayStation 4, and mobile. It should be worldwide sales as well.
