60 Seconds is coming to the Switch in the near future, and the dev team behind the game is looking to continue their surprise success story. 60 Seconds is closing in on 700k sold, which is much, MUCH higher than the team anticipated. Dominik Gotojuch of Robot Gentleman talked of the game's success to GamesIndustry.

"60 Seconds was a massive success that we did not anticipate. We hoped to sell 10,000 copies in a year, which was the optimistic number of sales for an indie. When you start a company you feel like you need to be ready for failure in case something goes wrong, but the thing is, you also need to be ready for success. It can also be challenging. We were hoping for 10,000 because we calculated that it would keep us afloat; it wouldn't necessarily recoup our costs, but it would give us momentum, and maybe an audience so that we could create a second game."
