Data from Alinea Analytics indicates that Saros generated 20% less revenue on the PlayStation 5 compared to Returnal during an equivalent post-launch timeframe. Specifically, Saros reached 40.4 million dollars through 522,000 copies sold, whereas Returnal achieved 50.5 million dollars from 649,000 units.
Analyst Rhys Elliott notes that the market environment for these titles differs significantly. Returnal debuted in April 2021, benefiting from high demand for new software and a lack of competition as an early first-party release that showcased the DualSense controller.
Saros faces a more challenging landscape despite the current PlayStation 5 installed base being 11 times larger than when Returnal launched. The title is contending with significant competition from major 2026 releases, including Crimson Desert, Resident Evil Requiem, Hades 2, and Pragmata.
