Soma reaches 92,000 sales after 10 days

Frictional Games have revealed some details about post-launch life of their horror title SOMA.

The game has sold about 92,000 copies across PC and PS4 after 10 days. Sales are still going strongly, with a total of around 2,000 copies sold per day. The company says this money will "pretty much pay our company expenses for another 2 years."

Comparatively, Amnesia: The Dark Descent sold 30,000 copies in the first month (and around 20,000 the first week). Meanwhile, Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs sold about 120,000 copies the first week. This puts SOMA's sales in between the two other horror games.

"Our goal for SOMA's sales is 100,000 after a month, and at the current pace it should be able to reach pretty much exactly that with a few units to spare. However, this doesn't mean that we've come close to recouping all our costs. We need to sell almost 3 times that amount to do that. But given that it took us 5 years to make the project, there's no immediate stress to do so. One of the great things about funding SOMA 100% ourselves is that all money earned goes into our own pockets and is directly used to fund our upcoming projects," said the company in a detailed blog post.

SOMA was released on PC and PlayStation 4 in September.
