The Medium has already covered development costs, says Bloober Team

The Medium has had a very successful launch, according to developer Bloober Team. The horror game has already recouped its development and promotion costs, says the team.

In an interview with Polish financial outlet money.pl, as translated by industry analyst MauroNL, Bloober Team isn't coy about The Medium's performance.

The game debuted on the market on Thursday, January 28 this year."

Several factors worked in The Medium's favour on this - it's a new game for the Xbox Series X, letting players stretch the hardware a little, it launched on PC and console, providing a larger audience, and it was on Game Pass day one, meaning word-of-mouth is high.
