Saros Significantly Outsold Returnal - Analysts

According to reports, sales of the dynamic "roguelike" in its release week were four times higher than those of Returnal. For the studio, this is a sharp increase and a signal that Saros attracted a wider audience from the very start.

Analyst millieamand notes strong market penetration, especially in developing regions. Sony has not yet published official data, but for comparison: Returnal took almost a year to reach the one million copies mark. Saros has a chance to achieve this result much faster.

The success is attributed not only to quality but also to changes in mechanics. The game introduced more accessible and permanent progression between deaths, which attracted players who were previously put off by the high difficulty of the previous project.
