Sektori’s solo developer Kimmo Lahtinen can now pay himself a living salary thanks to the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game.
Lahtinen is from Finland and worked for 13 years at Housemarque on games like Resogun and Returnal before creating Sektori all by himself over more than four and a half years.
It is a fast twin-stick shooter with roguelike elements and a strong techno soundtrack that feels a lot like Geometry Wars.
The game released on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox in late 2025 and received very good reviews, with a 97% positive rating on Steam.
Even with the praise, Lahtinen only covered his basic costs and paid himself no salary, as he said: “but that still leaves me with zero salary for 4.5 years.”
The Nintendo Switch 2 version that launched changed everything.
“I’m happy to now report that with the Sektori Switch 2 launch I’ve pretty much recouped a living salary for myself too.
Total sales are at about 30,000. The Switch 2 launch has been very well received so thank you everyone who’s jumped aboard.”
