FIFA 21?s overall sales are not doing too well compared to last year?s early performance on the market. However, publisher Electronic Arts is managing to edge out one win of sorts. The title?s digital sales launch in the UK is the biggest in series history, thus far. Apparently, FIFA 21 is outperforming FIFA 20 in terms of downloads by 31 percent. As a result, the new entry marks the first time a console release of FIFA has had digital sales outpace physical sales in the UK.
This news comes courtesy of Games Sales Data, or GSD, which tracks retail and digital game sales in EMEA territories. As GamesIndustry.biz notes, FIFA 21?s success on digital storefronts nearly offsets the 42 percent decrease in boxed sales. And despite the general sales decline, the latest FIFA managed to debut on top of the UK?s digital charts.
