Bloober Team’sThe Mediumis easily the studio’s most ambitious project to date, but it seems as though its efforts have paid off. A new report indicates thatThe Mediumsales have already been strong enough to consider the game a success for Bloober Team, as it has evidently sold enough to not only cover its production costs, but also the money the company spent marketing the game as well.
This is according to a report on the Polish site Money. According to the site, not only isThe Mediumthe most ambitious project from Bloober Teamto date, but it’s also the company’s “biggest” production. Considering this, the developers have to be pleased that the game was able to break even so quickly. What’s unclear, though, is if Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is being taken into account as well.

The Mediumdebuted on Xbox Game Pass, with Microsoft pushing it heavily as one of the first Xbox Series X console exclusive games. While exact figures aren’t available, Microsoft pays developers a fee to have their games featured on Game Pass. It’s unclear exactly how much Microsoft paid forThe Mediumor if there was some other kind of deal established between the two companies, but regardless,The Medium’s success is impressive.
The Medium’s sales success hopefully means that Bloober Team pursues a sequel to the game at some point. After all,The Medium’s endingdoes leave the door open for a potential sequel, and it seems safe to say that many would be interested in seeing where the story goes next. However, Bloober Team has yet to announce its next project, so horror game fans will simply have to wait patiently for more information on that front.
Not only hasThe Mediumbeen a sales success, but the game has also earned mostly positive reviews as well.The Mediumreviewshave praised the game for being an effective throwback to older horror games from the 90s, while also delivering some impressive next-generation graphics. Perhaps the positive buzz surroundingThe Mediumplayed a part in the game becoming such a big sales success in just a matter of days.
As it stands,The Mediumis the second-highest rated game from Bloober Team, behind onlyObserver. What’s interesting is that there is actually a connection betweenThe MediumandObserver, so maybe Bloober Team’s next game will also have connections to its previous work, whatever it may be.
The Mediumis out now for PC and Xbox Series X.
