## [](#half-million-copies)Half million copies

Celeste has managed to hit 500,000 copies sold on all platforms in 2018! This is quite major for an indie game to say the least. But still I hoped it did even better.

Well if that trailer did not convince you enough try this one on for size;

Celeste has seen major success with it even being nominated for a Game of the Year award at the Game Awards. And there it was up against major games such as Red Dead Deception 2 and Spider Man PS4!

Besides that it is a personal favorite since I came across it and it’s worth every penny I guarantee it.

Also keep in mind Limited Run Games is doing a Limited edition of it in little more than a week; <https://limitedrungames.com/collections/nintendo/products/switch-limited-run-23-celeste-preorder>
