It’s UK Charts time again folks, and guess what… The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is back in its place at number one.
Final Fantasy XVI, meanwhile, has seen a 78% drop in box office sales since its No. 1 debut last week. However, it should be noted that digital sales of Square Enix’s new title accounted for over 56% of its total sales at launch (thanks, GamesIndustry.biz). With boxed Switch games selling much better over longer periods of time, it’s no surprise to see the two games switch positions this week.
On the other hand, AEW: Fight Forever enters this week at number three. The Switch version sold the fewest boxes at launch, accounting for a 14% share. PS5 was on top with 47%, Xbox Series X/S with 21%, and PS4 with 17%.
We also have Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life in seventh place. Unsurprisingly, this one sold the most on Switch, accounting for a whopping 89% share. PS5 makes up 9% and Xbox Series X/S the remaining 2%.
Finally, the last new title to be released this week is Master Detective Archives: Rain Code. Given its rather niche premise, it’s no surprise to see the game at number twenty-three. It’s also, of course, exclusive to the Switch, so there aren’t any other platform launches to make up for the numbers here. Still, it’s a commendable start.
