ソニーのPlayStation 5独占最新タイトル『Saros』は、発売後の2週間で30万本強を売り上げました。これまでの売上高は2,200万ドルに達しています。開発元であるHousemarque社の前作『Returnal』と比較すると、現在のコンソール普及台数は大幅に多いにもかかわらず、売上ペースはわずかに下回っています。
Alinea Analyticsの推計によれば、売上の約30％はデラックスエディション購入者向けの48時間先行アクセス期間によるものです。同社は、『Saros』が4月29日の発売時に約4万3,000人のデイリーアクティブプレイヤー数を記録し、5月2日には約14万2,000人のピークに達したと指摘しています。ゲームのクリア率は20％となっており、これは『Returnal』の同期間におけるクリア率の2倍にあたる数字です。
