Saros Struggles to Ignite Early PS5 Sales Despite Polished Run

Analysts estimate Sony’s PS5 exclusive Saros sold just over 300,000 copies in its first two weeks, slightly behind Returnal, despite a more approachable design and upgrades. The bigger PS5 install base and stiff competition from back catalogs and new hits appear to be dampening momentum, though Saros shows a higher completion rate among top players. Sony has not released updated figures for other first‑party titles, raising questions about how to grow the platform’s audience amid rising development costs.
