State of Decay sales reach 500,000

Smash hit Xbox Live Arcade hit State of Decay has passed a new sales milestone.

The Undead Labs developed title has now shifted an incredible 500,000 units since its release on June 5th. Microsoft says it is now the fastest selling original title ever on the service.

It’s not been a completely smooth ride, however. The studio yesterday released a patch to address the various minor niggles that have bugged the title since launch. However, an error with the patch means it is not being correctly applied, and must now be remedied with a second patch that is in the words.

Stat of Decay shifted an impressive 250,000 downloads in its first two days on sale. As MCV highlighted, that actually matched the entire UK physical games market last week.
