The developers behind Starbound have revealed that their indie game, available only as an Early Access unfinished game, has already sold through to one million users.

Starbound has, no doubt, been aided by Steam's annual Holiday Sale 2013 where it stuck to the top of the sales charts despite never getting a discount itself.
