Has Saros started weaker than expected? Initial data worries fans

Sony has not yet disclosed the sales figures for the new release, which many fans have taken as an alarming sign. The company usually quickly reports on the successes of its major releases.

There are no exact sales figures yet, so we have to rely on ratings. The picture is mixed. The game was released on April 30, 2026, so it only partially made it into the April statistics, but its positions do not look strong even now.

According to the PlayStation Store, Housemarque's project ranked 11th in North America and 17th in Europe. This cannot be called a failure, but for a major Sony exclusive, the start looks modest.

In the UK, the situation is better – Saros debuted at 3rd place, behind Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream and Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition. On Amazon, the game also currently holds the top spot among new PS5 releases.

At the same time, expectations for the project were not initially at the level of Marvel’s Spider-Man. The budget for Saros is estimated at approximately 70 million euros, so the game does not necessarily need to show record sales to break even.

The full picture can be assessed later – without official data from Sony or analysts, it is too early to draw final conclusions. For now, it seems that Saros has received good reviews, but its sales started more modestly than major PlayStation hits.
