Runic Games’ decision to take their action dungeon crawler RPG, Torchlight, to the Xbox 360 earlier this year has paid off big. Torchlight has sold more than one million units since its 2009 launch. The announcement follows a successful 4th of July sale on Steam and Xbox 360 that helped the game reach its new milestone.

Runic Games is currently developing a sequel to Torchlight with Torchlight II, which is tentatively scheduled to release sometime later this year.
