Journey Is Fastest Selling PSN Game Ever

by Matt Miller on Mar 29, 2012 at 07:28 AM

Jenova Chen of thatgamecompany has personally written to thank fans for their support.

Journey's creative director Jenova Chen has posted a new article to the PlayStation Blog in which he details the broad success seen by his team's new game, and speaks directly to fans of the game. "Thanks to you, Journey has officially broken PlayStation Network and PlayStation Store sales records, surpassing all first and third-party games to become the fastest-selling game ever released in the SCEA region on the PlayStation Network," says Chen. 

Chen goes on to detail  the overwhelming number of letters the team has received since Journey's launch, which he says outstrips the hundreds of letters they've received about Flower in the last three years. 

Chen ends his post with a promise that the soundtrack to Journey is coming soon, and an art piece (below) meant as a thank you to those who've supported the game up to this point. 

The thank you comes on the same day that we've learned that thatgamecompany co-founder Kellee Santiago will be leaving the studio to pursue other creative projects.
