Udvikleren Frictional Games har afsløret via en pressemeddelelse, at Soma har solgt 92.000 kopier på ti dage, og indtjeningen herfra vil hjælpe med at finansiere udvikleren fremover:
"The money that we've got from this will pretty much pay our company expenses for another 2 years. Sales are still going pretty strongly too, with a total of around 2,000 copies sold per day. This number is bound to drop over time, and it'll be interesting to see just how fast and where it stabilises."
Dog skal spillet stadig sælge en del mere for at tjene samtlige omkostninger hjem igen, men Frictional skynder sig ikke:
"However, this doesn't mean that we've come close to recouping all our costs. We need to sell almost 3 times that amount to do that. But given that it took us 5 years to make the project, there's no immediate stress to do so. One of the great things about funding SOMA 100% ourselves is that all money earned goes into our own pockets and is directly used to fund our upcoming projects. So we are under no pressure to recoup immediately so long as we get enough to keep going - which we certainly have now."
