The Thing: Remastered is the Fastest Selling Game by Nightdive Studios

Atari has revealed in a recent business update that The Thing: Remastered has become the fastest-selling game developed by Nightdive Studios so far. In the report, the company praised its acquisition of Nightdive Studios from all the way back in 2023, and re-stated its current strategies of emphasising high-quality games based on highly recognisable IP.

The company also celebrated the sales of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind, which managed to hit the number three spot in the Nintendo eShop’s best-sellers list, as well as RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic, which was able to break into the top 15.

The Thing: Remastered was released on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S back in December. The release was a remaster of a cult-classic shooter from 2002, which in turn was based on the classic horror movie from 1982.

The title features the same classic gameplay as the original, albeit with more modern features, including better controls and a visual upgrade in the form of improved lighting and higher-resolution textures. The studio itself has stated that there were more than 1,500 changes made to the original’s code in order to ensure that it worked well on modern hardware.

The Thing: Remastered also recently got one of its first updates, which brought a host of bug fixes and optimisation to the game. The update also ensured that it would run better on the Steam Deck by fixing an issue related to running the game using the Vulkan renderer.
