Bloodborne Sells Over 1 Million Copies, Patch v1.03 Details

According to a new post over at the official PlayStation blog, From Software’s PS4-exclusive action-RPG Bloodborne has currently sold over 1 million copies, a result more or less comparable to the 1.3 million copies shipped by Dark Souls II at release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, though more impressive when one considers that the game only released on a single console that hasn’t had as many years to build an install base:

We are amazed and very grateful for the way in which the community has embraced Bloodborne. As you may have seen, we’ve just announced that Bloodborne has now sold through over one million copies worldwide. Thank you to everyone who has supported the project!

Despite the critical acclaim and the good sales Bloodborne hasn’t exactly been released in pristine condition, however, with extremely long loading times and a number of performance hitches. The developers are currently pledging to fix at least some of these problems in an upcoming patch v1.03, which is tentatively slated for a release at the end of this month:

As we confirmed previously, the 1.03 update seeks to reduce certain load times in addition to performance optimizations. The patch also resolves an issue that resulted in abnormal game behavior after many continuous hours of play. Additional fixes will be included as well.

The team is currently working towards a global release of the 1.03 patch before the end of the month. We will try to provide more specific timing as soon as we are able.

As usual, we’ll keep you informed as soon as we have more details on either the patch or Bloodborne’s sales.
