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 studio head Ilari Kuittinen said the developer intends to stick with challenging gameplay in future titles, drawing inspiration from FromSoftware.

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.
