Physical game sales on PS5 rose by 324% in the UK last week. According to GamesIndustry.biz, this in mostly thanks to the arrival of a lot more PlayStation 5 stock across the country. There was also the arrival of Hitman 3, of course, which unsurprisingly managed to claim the top spot in the sales charts.
When Hitman was released, its sales failed to meet the expectations of publisher Square Enix and they let the franchise go. For Hitman 3, IO Interactive decided to publish the digital version of the game but they still needed hep with the physical version. In the UK, those duties bizarrely fell to Square Enix once again. They shouldn?t be disappointed this time, though, as the game confidently claimed the top spot of the UK physical sales charts.
