I was just trying to do the calculations, but that's likely sub 1 million units sold for Control.
EDIT: probably a bit above 1M with deep sales and all.

grats! Hopefully that means more Control and AW.

Making it available at PS5/XSX launch as the "complete" edition with the final expansion + ray tracing + 60fps would be hella pragmatic.

It's a bit of a niche game and it was full price, so that's pretty good. I think a remaster on next-gen consoles would be a great move.

Edit: Oh, wait, I misread. This is a "third quarterly report" that also encompasses the previous two, so "the period" is nine months

Control budget was around €30 million
505 Games contributed with €7.75 million
Epic Games paid €9.49 for exclusivity
We don't know how much Sony paid for DLC exclusivity

Note : Bloodstained 9,9M€ here does not includes the release month in June, that game total sales are 23,7M€ since the release.
Hopefully they got what they needed out of it, still waiting for the steam version, started playing on one x but stopped because of performance hiccups, just sold it. I know it's on ps now on PS4 but if it's already bad on one x I'll just wait.

Revenue was at €17.7million at the end of September
So Remedy is still about 7m€ in red for Control. That sucks. (~30m€ total budget, 7.75m€ funded by 505, Remedy gets 45% of sales)
Edit: Seems like this does not include Epic money, so it's just 2.7m€ in red.

I think it's included. or maybe not. I guess that makes it about 2.7m€ in red. Much better, but still not ideal. (but something DLC&Steam can fix, hopefully)

It's a 45%/55% split in favour of 505, so €13,500,000 for Remedy and €16,500,000 for 505, minus platform fees and such.

Factor out the EGS and Sony money from Control, and that means Bloodstained made more money from customers.
Good news there at least. I can't wait for the follow-up game.
Wait, so this is the total revenue? I thought this was just the 55% take for 505/Digital Bros
Remedy owns the IP, but 505's publishing contract will last a whopping 20 years. Remedy was the primary financier by a significant margin, though, so I don't think 505 would have right of first refusal on any sequels or spin-offs.
Edit: Double d'oh. Never mind. The numbers don't add up.

It is a really good game. I would thoroughly recommend it. Intriguing story well told through excellent characters. Enjoyable gameplay mechanics which also create quite the spectacle. Excellent graphics with stunning art.
I actually don't think the €30mil figure includes the money from the EGS deal as that payment was already reported during the previous Financial Year which ended in June 30 2019 https://www.digitalbros.com/wp-cont...tements-for-the-year-ended-30-June-2019-1.pdf
Considering the €30mil revenue figure is from the 3 quarters after that (July 2019 - March 2020) I don't see why the €9.49mil Epic paid for the exclusivity deal would also be included in there, so I'm fairly certain Control's total revenue as of March 31st is now at €39.49mil.

Revenue should be as 505 distributes it and gets all the money first
Yeah, word of mouth has been positive for the most part, so the Steam version should do well out of the gate provided 505 does the smart thing and launches it with a discount.
But now that you mentioned, Im questioning it too lol. Not sure if this 30M is total sales or just the 55% revenue received by Digital Bros
yeah, this makes more sense. But shouldn't the royalties paid to Remedy be disclosed in the report then?
Well, hopefully DLC is included too, so I can use that as excuse to repurchase Steam version.
Pretty sad state of affairs when such a great title seemingly sold way under a million full price copies
They should 100% have a PS5/XSX version with all the DLC included at $60 ready for next-gen. If there's one multiplatform out there which is really struggling on the current-gen it would be Control, Remedy and 505 Games would really be fucking up if they don't do this.
You're saying I should buy it on the platform I don't want to play it on because I'm excited to play? It's literally called voting with your wallet for a reason. If you like the EPIC store more power to you but I don't so I'll wait.
They shouldn't have made it an EGS timed exclusive in my opinion. It could have sold better than that.
You mean the "launcher", right? Platform is the same. I don't like EGS (nor I hate it), it just doesn't matter (especially in Control as a SP game) as soon as I click "Play".
Lmao, such a hostile response to just them looking forward to playing a game
Oh they released a Linux launcher? Neat, where can I download it?
Its not just a launcher, if you had an xbox and a ps4 which do you buy a game on? Whichever has your friends? Maybe whichever has your achievements? How about whichever has your other multi platform games? Or the one that supports your favorite controllers, or has support for your operating system of choice.
Epic store is only just a launcher if you discount everything steam has done for over a decade, don't like keeping your games in one place, or is the only way to play a certain game. Otherwise its a platform with many many missing features and missing my library of games.
It was implied in their last fiancial report.
It is the cheapest way to port their own engine on the console too.
Ray Tracing and 60 FPS ? The RTX 2080 TI can't maintain it at 1080p without DLSS (Nvidia proprietary).
Expect more a 1440p/30FPS With RT. I hope there will be a no RT option mode.
