Payday 2 has sold 1.58 million copies

80 percent of which happened through digital distribution

Payday 2is doing very well for itself. At retail, it broke into the NPD’s top 10 for August 2013 but, here’s the thing about that: the game’s 1.58 million copies sold, according to Starbreeze, were 80 percent digital. Interesting. I always love it when we actually get numbers for digital sales.

Part of that probably had to do with the fact that pre-orders were pushed hard forPayday— to the point where it was profitable for Overkill Software before launch. From what I’m hearing, people are desperate for more content. The developer has said thatfive DLC packs— some free, some paid — will release this year for the game.
