Bloober Team’s horror game, The Medium has already covered its cost 🍒of development in a batter of days. The game is available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass as well.
As spotted by , Bloober Team spoke to Polish publication and said that The Medium has already generated enough rev🦄enue to cover developmental and marketing costs, all revenue henc🎃eforth will be profit.
Bloober team has found its niche as a horror genre game studio, following the likes of Blair Witch and Layers of Fear 2. However, The Medium is the studio’s most high profile game as of yet. This is an applaudable feat, considering the short time in which the game has turned around a profit. Add to that the fact tꦅhat it isn’t available on PlayStation consoles or any or the last-gen Xbox consoles.
Addඣitionally, it’s unclear how th꧙e game’s availability on Xbox Game Pass contributed to its profitability, but there’s a chance that Game Pass isn’t even factored into it, making this achievement all the more impressive.
The Medium has received pri💛marily positive revie♔ws across the board. It also asks players to leave a review for the gam🎃e after the fin𒆙al credits. After accepting the request to review, players are♛ then taken to the game's Microso𝄹ft Store page. Bloober Team has also suggested that the game may be set in the same world as Observer.
As for our own review, Bella Bloneau said, “The Medium itself never hits a flat note. I beat the game in two long sittings, and there was never a point during either that I felt like the game dragged, or could’ve used a little more polish, or left too many loose ends hanging. It’s a lean, compelling experience that says what it has to say, then leaves you to grapple with the specifics afterwards. There are images, lines, and ideas from The Medium that I’ll likely take to my grave than꧃ks to this approach, as it puts the onus on the player to piece everything together. You have to wrap your brain around the spirit world’s twisted l🐟ogic so much that it becomes a part of you, as you live through Marianne’s pain with her and help to navigate her trauma.”
The Medium is now available for Xbox Series X and P🌃C.
