Saros, Sony's latest PS5 exclusive, has apparently sold 300,000 copies since its launch in April 2026. If accurate, the figure could suggest the game is struggling to recoup its development costs. Sony has already absorbed a sizable financial setback from Marathon's unstable performance, and Saros joining the list of underperforming first-party titles would likely be the last thing on the company's 2026 agenda.

Is Saros Too Easy After Returnal?

Nick Rodriguez — Tue, 05 May 2026 20:00:21 GMT

I’m not sure which of these two games I’d consider better overall, but I can definitely point out the ways in which they differ. Saros has a considerably more traditional and well-explained narrative than Returnal, for instance. Gameplay-wise, they are quite similar, although Saros makes several much-welcome changes, especially with respect to roguelike basics and cross-run progression. This is a bit of a double-edged sword, though, as many players, even those who have largely enjoyed Saros, have called the game too easy. A quick look through the Saros subreddit is all you need for proof of this—though the discussion has already started to morph into something more complicated. This doesn’t surprise me in the slightest, as Saros’ approach to difficulty is actually quite interesting.

The difference between a good run and a bad run in Saros comes down to priorities, and the sooner players figure out how to prioritize their in-run upgrades, the sooner they have more good ones and fewer bad ones. Of course, it depends on what players want out of a specific run in Saros.

Saros Gets New Free Download for May 2026

A Saros player has discovered hidden codes on the game's PlayStation page that yield a free download for the recently released roguelite game from prestige developer Housemarque. As of this writing, it's not clear when or if these codes will expire (they presumably do), so Saros players should make sure they claim them via their PlayStation as soon as possible.

Marathon Just Fumbled a Golden Opportunity It May Not Get Again

Richard Warren — Fri, 01 May 2026 20:30:16 GMT

While plenty has been said about Marathon struggling to maintain a high player count and Sony’s disappointment in the game’s sales numbers, it’s also worth pointing out that the thousands of fans who are still playing the game truly adore it. Some are loving the game so much, in fact, that they are simply waiting for more appealing skins to enter the in-game store, as they’re looking fot a reason to further support Bungie’s Extraction Shooter. And though the Assassin Shell’s upcoming Arachne store skin is a looker, the reality is that most outfits thus far have been fairly tame recolors.
