Last weekend, FEZ officially hit the one year anniversary mark – YAY! Better yet, during that last year FEZ has reached an impressive 200,000 sales on Xbox Live Arcade!
“FEZ was released a year ago today. A fact I find impossible to believe. But I’ve checked the calendar. I’ve done the math, and it adds up. Since it came out last year, FEZ has now sold 200,000 units on XBLA alone,” said Phil from Polytron. “Which is completely crazy when you think about it. It’s been a truly transformative year.”
From all of us here at PlayXBLA, we would like to extend a massive, epic congratulations to the FEZ team!
