It’s safe to say thatLies of Phas performed well, as everyone on its development team has been given a bonus, extra holiday, and even a freeNintendo Switch 2console.
This comes after theLies of P: Overture, a prequel DLC, wasshadowdropped during Summer Game Fest. This has proven to be an effective strategy, as it’s reported that the base game has sold three million copies, reaching seven million players in total, when accounting forXbox Game Pass.
Lies Of P Devs Just Got Switch 2s As A Sales Bonus
As reported byVGC, South Korean news outletThe Elecshared the news of these extensive bonuses. It will see developers at Round8 Studio receive the following:
This is a rare bit of good news from the industry, as far too often,we’re instead reporting on mass layoffs. That can bewhether a game succeeds or not, as job cuts just seem to be part of the industry cycle now, particularly at the larger companies, like Xbox and PlayStation, and their various subsidiaries.
In any case, three million sales is an incredibly impressive figure for Lies of P to hit. Not only is it the first game in a new series, and only the second game from Round8, but it was also made available on Game Pass from day one. That meant that anyone who had a subscription through Xbox or PC could pick it up and play at no extra cost, with only PlayStation players having to outright buy it. With that said, the Overture DLC has to be bought by everyone, and the base game itself is no longer available on Game Pass.
