Open-world massively multiplayer online shooter Defiance has netted one million registered players, developer Trion Worlds has announced. The milestone comes one month after the game launched for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on April 2.

Trion Worlds also shared a number of in-game achievements, saying Defiance players have killed more than 500,000,000 hellbugs to date. In addition, players have driven 50,000,000 miles in the game and battled one million Arkfalls.
