UK Sales Charts: PS5 Makes Up 82% of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Physical Sales | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was last week's best-selling physical game in the UK, with its release marking the region's second-biggest launch of the year behind Hogwarts Legacy. 82 per cent of purchases were for the PS5 version, but sales were down overall by 35 per cent when compared to 2019's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. That's likely because digital downloads have become much more prevalent in the years since, which this chart doesn't include.

Elsewhere, Dead Island 2 made way for Cal Kestis' next adventure, but sales were only down by 45 per cent, which is fairly impressive for a game's second-week purchases. We've also got FIFA 23 returning to the top three, while Hogwarts Legacy and Resident Evil 4 sales are both down compared to last week.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

Obviously only tells half the story, but just insane splits on physical sales in the UK right now.

Those Hogwarts numbers for next week are about to rocket up. Glad for anyone that’s a fan of Star Wars with Jedi Survivor. If trends from this year or last year are taken into account, it’s almost like people want excellent story-driven single player games or something.

Well I will always prefer physical, only download if I really have no choice.

@somnambulance Yeah, I’m curious how the Hogwarts sales numbers will change with the PS4 release. I don’t know how many players are still stuck solely playing last Gen, but I suspect it’s a lot. I’m also equally curious to see how the game functions on old hardware. I can’t fathom that it’ll be a Cyberpunk part 2
