Hi-Rez must be pretty amped this morning. Download data has been made available for free-to-play shooter Tribes: Ascend, and the numbers look very, very good. Since launching last month, the game has seen over 1.2 million downloads. 110,000 of those downloads came from the game’s built-in referral system.

Todd Harris, COO of Hi-Rez, noted in early May that Tribes had around 800,000 registered accounts. He also noted that the team has plans to land a few thousand more players by localizing the game for various regions. At the moment, Tribes: Ascend is available only in English.

Of course, the game is free-to-play, so these download figures don’t really give us much to go on in terms of revenue generated. We’ll have to wait for Hi-Rez to compile and release that information. In the meantime, we can safely assume the game is doing well, since the company is pushing for a global launch.

Have you picked up Tribes: Ascend? What do you think?
