More or less, the physical market around the world for every product is suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic and video games are no exception. That being said,last week’s UK sales resultwas still a significant achievement forAssassin’s Creed Valhalla, where it managed to beatCall of Duty Black Ops Cold Warfor dominating the UK’s physical game sales chart at launch week, though Activision’s latest hit took over the first place over the last week.
According tothe new data,Call of Duty Black Ops Cold Warwas the best-selling game of last week in the UK’s physical market, despite experiencing a 27% drop in sales compared to the last week. In fact,Valhalla’s huge 70% drop in sales helped some of the other games of the market to reach higher positions in the weekly chart.
Thanks to the Black Friday deals,FIFA 21was the second-best of last week with a 121% increase in sales.FIFA 21 Ultimate EditionandFIFA 21 Champions Editionare available with a significant discount now, encouraging every football fan to grab one of them in the early months of the football season.
The third place in the UK’s best-selling games of last week belongs to Sony’sMarvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales. Releasing on both PS5 and PS4,Miles Morales' sales in the first two weeks of the launch is still 57% less than the originalSpider-Man’s release in the same period on PS4 back in 2018. However, the game might have a continuous strong sale in the upcoming year as more people will be getting a PS5 console. It’s also worth noting that the game doesn’t support a free upgrade from PS4 to PS5, so this might make some gamers wait on buyingMiles Moralesuntil they get a PS5.
The next positions of the table (5-10) respectively belong toFortnite: The Last Laugh Bundle,Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity,Watch Dogs Legion,Animal Crossing: New Horizons,Mario Kart 8 Deluxe,Minecraft Switch Edition.
