Microsoft servers fail to keep up with demand

Trials Evolution ‘breaks 100k downloads day-one’

MCV Staff 20th April 2012 Publishing

More than 100,000 copies of Trials Evolution were downloaded on the game’s first day of sale, according to its Finland based creators RedLynx.

The company made the claim on its official Twitter account, responding to concerns from customers due to the game’s online servers struggling to operate under intense demand.

Approximately 100,000 sales on day one, when multiplied by the 1200 Microsoft Points each game is sold for, puts its day-one revenue at more than $1 million.
