The latest UK charts for physical video game sales are here. This week, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach has – perhaps unsurprisingly – taken the top spot, according to data for the week ending 28th June. This has seen Kojima Production’s cinematic and widely praised release bump Mario Kart World down a place, to number two.
While Death Stranding 2 was indeed the top selling game last week physically, according to The Game Business’ Chris Dring these debut sales were 66 percent lower than that of the original Death Stranding game. This is largely due to the current market being more digital-focused.
To compare further, Dring stated Death Stranding 2’s physical sales were 33 percent lower than fellow PS5 exclusive Astro Bot had on its release. Of course, the two games are clearly targeted at quite different audiences.
The full physical UK top ten video game sales for the week ending 28th June, as shared by GfK (via VGcharts), are as follows:
Death Stranding 2 – NEW
Mario Kart World
Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition
Hogwarts Legacy
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Minecraft
The Thing Remastered
EA Sports FC 25
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt GOTY Edition
Mortal Kombat 1
