Though the wonderful world of Celeste as come out on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and the Nintendo Switch, its launch on the hybrid console from the Big N was the game’s biggest launch to date. The creator of Celeste recently sat down with Destructoid to give the good word, this is what Matt Thorson had to say about their Switch success:

“The Switch version of Celeste has sold the most, and that’s what we were expecting. We feel like Celeste and the Switch are a perfect fit for each other. We are glad we launched on all consoles though, and we really appreciate the support we’ve seen across the board.”
This is just the latest title to do incredibly well on the portable console, while the Nintendo Switch itself continues to see incredible numbers since launch. With more indie titles and third party support than ever before, it’s great to see Nintendo come back to the ranks of their platform brethren!
