Released just a few weeks ago, thatgamecompany’s Journey surpassed everyone’s expectations and quickly became the most purchased game on Sony’s PlayStation Store.
Jenova Chen, Journey’s creator thanked fans for their continued support of the game and in gratitude, posted exclusive Journey images and artwork on the Official PlayStation Blog.

 “Thanks to you, Journey has officially brokenPlayStation 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.” 

Chen also talked about thatgamecompany’s past and their experiences with fans as well as the amount of people they inspire and the emotions they evoke with the types of games they create.

 “We owe a lot to our fans. In fact, idea of forming the thatgamecompany team to create games with Sony Santa Monica originated from several dozen emails that players sent in after playing our first student game, Cloud, from our time at USC. It was the players who told us how moving the game was and how it is important that we keep making these types of games so that more people in the world will realize what video games can be, and can grow to love games through our work. To me, that was a life-changing moment. I knew making games was my life calling.”
