Its a strong opening performance for the fighting game, and continues an impressive few weeks for the publisher (following recent strong sales of Tales Of and Ace Combat). Next up in terms of new releases is Bandai Namco's Jump Force at No.4. 57 per cent of Metro Exodus sales came on PS4. Launch physical sales for Metro Exodus are almost 50 per cent higher than Last Light.

This result is even more impressive when you consider the growth of digital sales in the six years between the two titles (digital game sales are not counted in this data).
FAR CRY 1 PC RETAIL PS3
Yet more significantly, the game has posted a better opening week than 2013's Metro Last Light (released on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC). Metro Exodus missed out on No.1 by just 2,000 units. Yet even compared to 2016's Far Cry Primal (the previous spin-off), sales are a fraction of what we'd typically expect (Far Cry Primal sold almost four times as many units in its first week as New Dawn has).Ħ0 per cent of Far Cry: New Dawn sales came on PS4, 39 per cent on Xbox One, with the rest on PC (physical sales only).Ī company that will likely be feeling happier with the result this week is Deep Silver. Of course, this is a spin-off Far Cry title, and so the comparison isn't overly fair. The game's launch week sales are 86.5 per cent down over last year's Far Cry 5. It was the most competitive release week since before Christmas, with four big new games entering the Top 20.Īlthough Far Cry managed to top the charts, it isn't an especially impressive opening week. Far Cry: New Dawn is this week's No.1 game in the UK boxed retail charts.
