The Thing Remastered

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 the developer and re-stated its current strategies of emphasizing high-quality games based on highly recognizable IP.

It 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. RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic also broke into the top 15.

The Thing: Remastered was released on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S back in December. It’s a remaster of the 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, 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 to ensure that it worked well on current hardware.

The Thing: Remastered also recently received 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 the Vulkan renderer.
