BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe and Slightly Mad Studios announced today that Project CARS has already sold more than one million units around the world.
As the press release reads, with this huge success and the accolade of being the highest-rated racing game on PS4, Project CARS has firmly positioned itself as one of the greatest driving experiences ever made – created by the fans, for the fans.
Ian Bell (Studio Head of Slightly Mad Studios) said:
“Throughout the development of Project CARS the community were instrumental in guiding the game – giving us feedback daily on each build iteration, telling us what needed improving, highlighting what they’d like to see included, and ultimately approving it as the racing game of their dreams. Even with this amount of early indication that the bold, ambitious vision we had was on track to be something that would truly stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the existing leading titles in the genre, it wasn’t until the first review scores came in that we truly realised how much Project CARS had resonated with both media, racing professionals, and gamers alike around the world. To now stand here having reached over a million players in such a short time really justifies the work both the team and the community have done over the years and solidifies Project CARS’ future as the multi-platform racing experience of choice for fans around the world. And we’ll be talking more about that future very, very soon.”
Slightly Mad Studios has a new patch planned for release in the coming days that will fix a number of issues.

And only below 200k on PC :>
161K as shown on steamspy. PC market is just 16%. PC gamers are still a minority. Sad but truth.
The point is, PC has Assetto Corsa with more than 300 000 copies sold and Iracing and rfactor and so on. PS4 had zero autosims and just good racing games until project cars with such good reviews.. pff this game even maybe never come out without PC gamers support
Its kind of sad crowd funded games make so much, that instead of improving upon the existing game,adding content, they just shift focus to consoles.
It would be a good thing if it atleast had crossplay, but $ony and M$ policies won’t allow that.
I think PCars is hopefully the exception to the rule of how other crowdfunded games are made. Slightlymad said that they would continue to provide content to the game.
PC has a better choice of games too. If you have an AMD gpu, why would you buy PC over Assetto Corsa?
Theres a lot of sim racing on PC, while PS4 has NONE! Ah PS4 doesnt have even a Grand Turismo game or remake.
and the whole game made by PC gamer’s money via WMD portal (not steam), you know Crowdsourcing.
Which by the sales, we are going to get back and a little more. 😉
I thought, all WMD members get steam keys
i guess they had the game (alpha/beta) before even steam page goes up, maybe they got their steam keys maybe they just running the game without steam to serve them as a DRM, i’m not sure
Yeah the crowdfunders had received steam after it was converted from the WMD build to the steam build. I’m of the founders who donated it has come a long way. I heard another report that the game was the fastest selling racing game to date, which is especially good for a simulation racing game
not all them did, junior members that supported the project early didn’t. BS if you ask me.
maybe on average pc gamers dont care much for racing games? none of my friends do at least
Not true, PC gamers who care about racing sim games are splitted between, asseto corsa, Iracing and this game. Since you can virtually play any racing game on PC since NFS 1 while PS4 only have this racing game(sim) I dont think sales of Project Cars are going to get better, now think that AMD support is crap on this game, people who have and ATI card will not waste a penny on this.
idk i don’t think you can say every PC gamer who plays racing games who plays sims play asseto corsa or iracing. It’s a exception i would say there is a far greater amount of PC gamers that would rather play arcade racing games than simulated ones.
People too busy playing Asseto Corsa.
Good i wish them good luck but NOT to those f*ckers called CDPR console ports(worse than Ubisoft)
troll alert.
sadly its true i wish it wasn’t!
LOL, nice try.
sadly is true 😐
Heh.
…..
You cant expect strong sales when support for AMD cards are crap.
Still, why to buy this when Asseto Corsa is as good as this. DSOG has published a lot of videos comparing both games between them and between the reality. Does project cars support Oculus Rift? Because Asseto Corsa does!
I’m holding off to get this until after the first VR headsets come out at the end of the year/early 2016. I want the absolute best driving experience possible… which means I probably have to buy a damn wheel, too.
