Untitled Goose Game’s success hatches golden eggs for Australia’s gaming industry

It’s a good time to be Australian game studio House House. When the four-person team released the long-awaited Untitled Goose Game for PC and Nintendo Switch in September, it became an instant hit. That popularity, along with its eventual release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, helped the game honk its way past 1 million in sales.

The idea of playing as a dastardly goose who terrorizes a small English town was so irresistible that even celebrities and famous musicians started talking about it. Goose-related memes spread like wildfire. Some fans even came up with clever Halloween costumes based on the game.
