Outriders Not Yet Recouped Development and Promotional Costs.
Multiplayer looter shooter Outriders has seemingly still not recovered its development, distribution, and publishing costs.
As reported by Eurogamer Poland, developer People Can Fly has not received any royalties from the game’s first quarter of sales, meaning it hasn’t reached the level of sales required by Square Enix to start paying out those royalties.
Square Enix will distribute royalties once the game recovers its production, distribution, and promotion costs.
This money will then be paid out every quarter.
The first quarter of sales would cover April to June 2021, but because there is a 45 day payment period following the end of the quarter, People Can Fly has only just found out they won’t be receiving royalties yet.

The situation has been made more difficult because Square Enix is refusing to disclose any sales figures to the developer.
