People Can Fly has stated that Square Enix still paid it no royalties for Outriders. This means the game might never recoup its development costs, so the Polish studio could start receiving a portion of its revenue.

People Can Fly should have started to receive money from Outriders. That is, if the game’s revenue has already covered production and promotion costs. However, the studio still hasn’t seen its royalties from publisher Square Enix, although it previously highlighted the title’s success at launch.

Valheim has been leading Steam’s best-selling chart for eight weeks, but Outriders has now managed to take first place.
