"Hogwarts Legacy has returned to the top of the UK boxed charts, following a 228% spike in sales week-on-week.

As reported by GfK, a retailer promotion has seen sales increase across all formats for the Warner Bros. title, the highest on PS5 at 266% followed by Xbox Series X|S at 249%.

Meanwhile, Starfield's premium edition upgrade — essentially a box with a download code that unlocks early access to the digital edition — debuted at No.7 following early access on Friday last week. The full game will be released on September 6.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga climbed the charts from No.6 to No.2 with a 98% increase in sales due to a discount on Nintendo Switch. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe moved down one spot to No.3 despite a 18% rise, while Zelda fell to No.4 following a 4% decrease week-on-week.

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon fell to No.5 following its debut at No.1 last week, with a 71% sales decrease, while FIFA 23 made its way to the bottom of the Top Ten from No.4 after a 27% drop week-on-week. However, the game did see a 127% rise in sales on Xbox Series X|S.

Elsewhere, Street Fighter 6 and Diablo 4 jumped up the charts from No.22 and No.24 to No.13 and No.14 respectively due to price reductions."

6 million + now…



I'm interested in the sales numbers too because that would mean interests garnered outside of the Gamepass community.

When they count the number even if someone just downloaded , opened and closed the game... it's like saying Astrobot is the best selling PS5 launch exclusive ever with 40+ million in households today.

Well we already know it sold over 2 million Premium packs(pretty much evenly shared between Xbox and Steam players)

No we don't. That 1 million plus 1 million were extrapolated numbers from the ~250k as pointed out in the fine print.

If steam was 220-250k ish average we can extrapolate that the concurrent 1 million tweet includes Xbox and PC Gamepass users for 750k.

September and October NPD will help. If Starfield charts in top 10 then we can confirm that the game is actually selling and garnering interests. Also would like to see them discern the difference between Premium edition and people who actually bought the full game.

Right, we shouldn't extrapolate such things.

Anyway, where are those boxed/physical UK sales at? I need to make some bold claims.

Interesting reporting.

Starfield is behind Hogwarts, Zelda, Star Wars, Resi 4, FF16 and Dead Island 2 in terms of physical but could be biggest launch if you throw in Gamepass numbers ... so is Starfield still a flop if it's behind FF16? And does Gamepass numbers count as a sale now 🧐

Unless he is counting only the premium edition sales but that doesn't sound like it either.
