Phantom Dust HD re-release has over 20 times more players on Xbox One than the original game

The game crosses the 1 million player mark.

Phantom Dust's Xbox One debut has been long in the making, being initially revealed back at E3 2014. The wait appears to have been worth it as Creative Director, Adam Isgreen announced over on the Phantom Dusted fan site that over one million players have played the game. That's quite the step up from the 50,000 that originally bought the game.

Isgreen also detailed a new update that is coming to the game, which includes a daily skill reward system. This new system allows players to unlock skills that were previously only available in the original game's expansion. All you have to do is log-in to one of your in-game profiles, and you will unlock a "free specific skill for that day."

Players can also unlock a bonus skill every week, so long as they log-in and play at least four times a week. If, however, you want to unlock all of the skills right away, you can buy three copies of all 74 of them for $4.99 as park of an "expansion skill pack."

Also included in the update is the return of in-game voice chat and an NPC Mission Guide to help streamline the game's campaign mode.
