Saros Estimated at 300,000 Sales in First Two Weeks

Unverified figures raise questions about recouping costs despite strong engagement from buyers.

Overview

  • Saros has sold about 300,000 copies and generated roughly $22 million in two weeks, according to third‑party firm Alinea Analytics, which Sony has not confirmed.
  • The firm says the early revenue may not cover a reported $70–76 million development budget for the PS5 exclusive.
  • Alinea reports the game is pacing a little slower than Housemarque’s 2021 release Returnal even though the PS5 player base is now much larger.
  • Engagement among buyers appears high, with many players logging more than 15 hours and a completion rate above 20 percent based on trophy data.
  • PlayStation’s store charts showed a modest debut placement, reinforcing that official sales figures from Sony or Circana are still to come.
