Assuming Control chooses a destination as Steam, at its current selling price of $60, in order to earn $10.45 million in revenue, 505 Games must sell 250,000 copies on the platform.

Regardless of whether the game is successful at launch or not, the company is still sure to ensure revenue and comfortably pocket hundreds of billions of dong.
