"The Nomad Soul" was renamed "Omikron: The Nomad Soul" in North America. It was released for Microsoft Windows on 31 October 1999 in Europe; North America received it on 5 November. The game was ported for the Dreamcast, with release dates reported for 22 June (NA) and 23 June 2000 (EU). It sold more than 600,000 copies, between 400,000 and 500,000 of which came from Europe. Cage blamed the low sales in North America on Eidos' lack of support in that market. A PlayStation version, planned for May 2000, was cancelled after seventy percent of it had been completed. The game was also cancelled for PlayStation 2. After Bowie's death in 2016, "The Nomad Soul" was made available at no cost for one week.
