months ago it was expected that The Callisto Protocol was a success and became the successor to Dead Space, the result was the opposite, having very low sales and being criticized on multiple occasions. Regarding the sales projection, it has been reported that failed to even sell half the expected units and perhaps that is the reason for the recent discounts that the game has on Steam and Epic.

The K-Odyssey site reported that the game would not have reached the figure of 2 million copies sold between all platforms (PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 Xbox One and Xbox Series S|X), now having an expectation of cumulative sales of 2.1 millionwhich before was 4 million by the consultant Samsung Securities. This means that they don’t think the game will sell much more than it already has since it launched on December 2, 2022.
According to the projections of Korea Investment & Securities it was estimated that the game was going to sell 5 million copiesafter relying on his investment of 162 million dollars (200 billion Korean Won), but now they also believe that the sales estimate will be 2.1 million. Perhaps these are the reasons why the game now has a 20% discount on Steam and Epic until January 19.
Anyway, the next February 7th players will have an update that includes the new modes New Game+ y Hardcore, plus a new skin. Months later, new story content and other additions are expected, but there is a doubt if thanks to that the game could recover.
