Bugsnax outsold Octodad's launch PS sales despite being free most of that time on PS Plus
- Thread starter Kolx
- Start date
Makes sense as the PS5 was the only system that got it for free and that provided a huge marketing boost to the game. That leaves the hundred million PS4 owners left to buy it.
Congrats to the team.

I see what you're going for but it's not quite the same thing. A demo disc only gave you a small sampling of a game and you make the decision based on that demo whether the game is worth buying. This is you keeping the game through PS+ like it's in your collection forever and you still decide to buy the game in spite of that. It's very much like Gamepass but even better since the game won't be delisted and you can redownload it if you want as long as you've claimed it.
Again this is further proof that the Gamepass model can work.
it's still a demo even if it's free b/c it's not a free to play game. it's for exposure and word of mouth since the free part is only temporary like getting the demo disc from a monthly magazine. It ain't gamepass model it's a decades old model coming back with purple hair
So happy to hear this. I hope they all got some good rest and a break after launch. This has been probably one of my favorite launch games ever. Just felt so different from anything I'm used to playing, despite there being a lot of mechanics that on paper sound like they're from other games.
Another funny thing is that when I tell people these days about Octodad and describe it to them they say it sounds amazing and wonder why they've never heard of it before. I wonder if it would see a spike in interest/sales if it was marketed again.

Just because the demo model has been around forever doesn't invalidate my point. You can have a game available on a service you pay for where you get the game for "Free" and people are still desiring the game enough to make a purchase which is impressive and goes against the idea that people just want free and will not purchase it if they can get it for "free".
Glad to see it's doing well. Personally I didn't love it, but I'm always glad to try something a bit different.
I was shocked the song is only the credits theme. Like it needed to be in the actual game.
Platinumed this on PS5 and absolutely loved every minute of it. Well done to the team!
