Bloober Team recouped the costs of creating The Medium within a week of its release.
As reported in Money.pl (thanks, Gamespot), the horror studio has sold enough copies of the slow-burning horror to recoup all development and marketing costs, even though it is an exclusive Xbox Series X console available free to Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
The horror game’s lack of combat and leaps has polarized critics and fans alike, but it is the studio’s biggest and most ambitious project to date nonetheless.
“Yes, Marianne’s world is a world of duality – good and evil; heaven and hell; life and death – but there are few negative points to weigh down the high ambition of Bloober Team”, I wrote in Eurogamer’s The Medium magazine.
“Even as it substitutes scripted alerts for a disturbing atmosphere – which I fear not all fans will be happy with – The Medium is the studio’s most successful and accessible offering to date, and a sign that Bloober continues to improve, mature and innovate. “
Aoife and Zoe have, uh, slightly different views from me, however …
