StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty Becomes Best-Selling PC Game of 2010
Blizzard Entertainment announced that StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty had sold over 1 million copies sold worldwide in its first day of release making it the best-selling PC game of 2010. The game was released simultaneously on 27 July 2010 in North America, Europe and most of the world. StarCraft II, the sequel to Blizzard’s 1998 hit, has thus sold more than 1.5 million copies in its first 48 hours, setting the record for fastest-selling strategy game of all time.
“We launched StarCraft II in 11 different languages and on 5 different continents because we wanted to make sure as many players as possible were able to log on and play on day one,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We’re pleased that so many people around the world have already picked up a copy of the game, and we look forward to welcoming even more players to Battle.net in the weeks and months ahead.”
