PS5 exclusive Saros sells 300000 copies in first weeks

Sony's latest PlayStation 5 exclusive Saros has sold just over 300000 copies in its first two weeks on sale. The game has generated $22 million in revenue so far. Sales are tracking slightly behind those of developer Housemarque's previous title Returnal despite a much larger console install base.

Alinea Analytics estimates that roughly 30 percent of the sales came from the 48-hour early access period for deluxe edition buyers. The firm notes that Saros launched with around 43000 daily players on 29 April and peaked at almost 142000 on 2 May. Completion rates stand at 20 percent, double the figure recorded for Returnal at the same point in its lifecycle.

Following its delay to April 30, 2026, Housemarque's roguelike shooter Saros saw reviews go live on April 24 after a restrictive embargo lifted, earning acclaim for combat evolutions beyond Returnal while critics decried limits on narrative discussion. The PS5 title follows protagonist Arjun Devraj on the eclipsed planet Carcosa.

Housemarque showcased a new trailer for its upcoming third-person action game Saros at PlayStation's State of Play on February 12, 2026. The game, set for release on April 30, 2026, for PS5, features protagonist Arjun Devraj voiced by Rahul Kohli. It introduces permanent progression systems distinct from the studio's previous title Returnal.

Housemarque has incorporated player feedback from Returnal into its upcoming sci-fi roguelike shooter Saros, adding auto-saves and multiple save slots from launch. Creative director Gregory Louden emphasized that the game remains challenging while offering more accessibility. Saros runs are designed to last about 30 minutes each.

US sales of the PlayStation 5 nearly doubled in the week ending April 4, marking the console's best performance of 2026 so far. Consumers rushed to buy before Sony's announced price increases took effect. The surge came after Sony cited global economic pressures for raising prices by about $100 on its PS5 models.

Six weeks after launch, Bungie's extraction shooter Marathon is discounted 20 percent to $32 on Xbox Series X/S for the first time, following analyst estimates pegging Xbox sales at just 10 percent of the game's 1.2 million total copies. The move highlights ongoing platform struggles despite steady updates.

Sony announced the March 2026 PlayStation Plus Essential tier free games on February 25, available to claim starting March 3 until April 6 as February's lineup expires. The four titles—PGA Tour 2K25, Slime Rancher 2, The Elder Scrolls Online Collection: Gold Road, and Monster Hunter Rise—offer diverse gameplay across PS5 and select PS4, with high Metacritic scores and extended playtime.
