The first three weeks for the EA game are a significant drop on last year's racing title, with sales down 49%. The third game in the charts is also a new release in F1 23. The publisher has also been pushing its next major Final Fantasy release, Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, which is due early next year. There are a few factors to consider, including FF16's PS5 exclusivity, the congested release window and the fact the title is a departure from previous games in the series. It seems like a disappointment, but Square Enix did celebrate the three million global sales milestone, which suggests it is satisfied with the result. These results appear to be reflected in other markets, too. The Square Enix title's opening two weeks sales are 36% lower than the last major Final Fantasy game, which was Final Fantasy 7: Remake in April 2020. Second place belongs to Final Fantasy 16.

The remaining 43% of sales came on PS5, Xbox Series S and X and PS4. In terms of the first four weeks, Zelda is tracking slightly behind Diablo, but that will likely be different if digital data was available for Nintendo's hit game.ĥ7% of Diablo 4's sales were on PC. For those wondering 'what about Zelda?' Nintendo doesn't share its digital data with the GSD charts, which means we only have the game's physical sales to go on. It is actually the second fastest-selling game of the year after four weeks, behind Hogwarts Legacy. The latest GSD data shows that game sales are up 7%, which is a modest result considering the number of big releases in June compared with the same period last year.ĭiablo 4 obliterated all competition to be the clear No.1 best-selling game in June. Three million digital and physical video games were sold in the UK last month.
