The most recent rankings for weekly physical software sales in the UK have been issued by the Gfk (via GamesIndustry), and it should come as no surprise that EA Sports FC 24 has debuted at the top of the charts, as was previously reported by GamesIndustry. Despite the fact that its physical launch sales are 30% lower than what FIFA 23 managed to achieve the previous year, it is still the second-largest launch in the UK for 2023, with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom being the biggest launch of the year. In terms of physical launch sales, it has also witnessed a marginal boost when compared to the previous year the Switch.
As a result, Mortal Kombat 1, which began at the top of the rankings the previous week, has fallen all the way down to second place with sales that are 83% lower than before. However, another CD Projekt RED RPG, The Witcher 3, has re-entered the rankings at No. 10, owing to a 59% rise in sales that was brought about by store incentives. In the meantime, Cyberpunk 2077, which re-entered the top 10 in the charts from the previous week, has slipped out again.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is another game that has reached the top 10 as a result of store promotions. The game’s sales have increased by 216%, placing it at number 8 on the list. In the meanwhile, games such as Minecraft, Hogwarts Legacy, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Grand Theft Auto 5, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom all have spots on the lists.
