Fez on PC is really happening, you guys; Steam and GOG.com will both open pre-orders for the indie platform-puzzler on April 22. Polytron is offering 10% off on pre-orders of the $10 former Xbox Live exclusive ahead of its May 1 launch. Fez has sold 200,000 copies on Xbox Live since its launch almost exactly one year ago.

One year on from release, Polytron Corporation’s much-praised puzzle platformer Fez has sold 200,000 copies on Xbox Live. Creator Phil Fish revealed the figure in a blog post, thanking players for their support, fanmail, and giving him the chance to “spend years driving myself crazy trying to make something beautiful so you can run around in it”. Fez arrives on PC on May 1 and is later headed to other platforms, although probably not 3DS or Wii U.

Thanks, woe.

Fez has been patched, but you may wish to hold off on the update until new issues can be fixed. According to a official post on the matter, after applying the patch, an issue can occur where save files are corrupted after installing the patch. Polytron said it was “floored that this wasn’t found in testing, but for the moment, deleting your system cache should resolve the issue.” If that fails, there is no known workaround, so until a solution is found, just hold off on the patch.

Oh hey, so you know what’s still going to be patched? Fez. According to developer Polytron, a patch was submitted for certification in early March but was rejected. It took the team quite some time to identify and correct the issues Microsoft raised, but the revised update is back in certification, so we should hear something within the next few weeks.

Thanks, IGM.
