Celeste is currently coming off of a strong showing from this year’s The Game Awards. It received four nominations, including Game of the Year and Best Soundtrack, while garnering two wins with Best Indie Game and Games for Impact. Immediately after the awards show, the popular indie skyrocketed to the number one downloaded soundtrack on Bandcamp.
Those uninterested in a physical edition can currently download Celeste now for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
