Sabotage Studio’s Sea of Stars launched this week, with a spot on each Xbox and PlayStation’s subscription companies. Regardless of that, it appears to be like like the brand new RPG is already chalking up robust gross sales. The studio’s confirmed that on day one, Sea of Stars accrued 100,000 copies bought.

It’s a powerful day one for an RPG from a comparatively smaller studio. As of this writing, Sea of Stars is sitting on the Steam Prime Sellers chart alongside the likes of Starfield, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Armored Core 6.

But it surely’s an particularly fascinating stat on condition that Sea of Stars is offered on each Xbox Recreation Cross and PlayStation Plus Recreation Catalog. It’s at the very least a sign that Sea of Stars is changing into one other shock hit, in a yr already stuffed with bangers.

Starry eyed shock

There’s just a few good causes to select up a sport, even when you’ve got it by means of a subscription. I do know I’ve personally used Xbox Recreation Cross as a strategy to demo a sport, and if it’s one thing I do know I’ll need to play in a while down the road, I’ll purchase it so I don’t lose entry if it leaves Cross. Sea of Stars had a demo previous to launch, and should have left a powerful sufficient impression that individuals locked their license in primarily based off that.

Or perhaps individuals are additionally like me, in that they purchase video games with out remembering they have been on Xbox Recreation Cross/PS Plus. I’m not one of the best barometer for wise buying selections.

Both method, it’s a reaffirming notion to see Sabotage’s RPG chalking up numbers quick. It’s been a golden yr for RPGs, and it’s good to see that’s not only for the largest blockbusters.

We’re nonetheless selecting away at Sea of Stars right here, however in the event you’re a fan of chill fishing minigames, Mario RPG-style fight, and nice music, it’s value a glance.
