    SpeedRunners, a game about superheroes racing one another to the scene of a crime, has racked up 162 years of total playtime and $1 million worth of sales, according to an infographic from No Time To Explain studio and SpeedRunners publisher, tinyBuild. You can check out the full list of facts after the break. Developed by DoubleDutch Games, SpeedRunners was released on Steam Early Access in August of last year. It gained a surge in popularity thanks in part to exposure from YouTube personalities such as Swedish sensation PewDiePie, and more statistics shared by tinyBuild attest to this; according to tinyBuild, 1 in 1,000 people in Sweden own a copy of the game. The final version of SpeedRunners is due for release on PC by the end of 2014 "... probably," according to tinyBuild. A free version will be available as well, with a console version sprinting to Xbox One in 2015.

    SpeedRunners, the four-player racing elimination game from tinyBuild, is due out on Xbox One in 2015, after its Steam release. SpeedRunners is currently on Steam Early Access, and already it has "thousands" of players online during peak times, tinyBuild says. The game is local or online multiplayer (or local and online multiplayer), and it has players race against each other through a series of side-scrolling, platforming environments where they can swing, dash and lay traps for competitors, all with the goal of reaching the finish first. SpeedRunners comes from a collaboration between two independent studios, DoubleDutch Games and No Time to Explain developer tinyBuild. DoubleDutch created the original SpeedRunners HD, which launched on Xbox Live Indie Games in 2011, and tinyBuild is publishing and co-developing this updated version. [Image: tinyBuild]
