While many see the inclusion of their game on Sony’s PlayStation Plus service as a real boon, others feel less so. In fact, Oddworld Inhabitants’ Lorne Lanning has revealed that getting Oddworld: Soulstorm on PS Plus was “devastating” for the team.
Chatting to Xbox Expansion Pass, Lanning said his team initially thought they would sell roughly 50k units of Oddworld: Soulstorm, and certainly no more than 100k. The studio was also looking for some financial help to keep the game alive, and as such, when Sony approached the team offering an undisclosed amount of money to put its game on PS Plus for its release month, Lanning jumped at the chance.
However, the game’s release was delayedby three months due to the ongoing effects of the pandemic. And with the game’s later release, Lanning said, more people than previously estimated now had access to a PlayStation 5.
