Final week’s UK bodily charts from Gfk noticed Mario vs. Donkey Kong take the highest spot whereas Cranium and Bones upset (regardless of debuting in fourth). GamesIndustry head Christopher Dring reported on Twitter that the previous dropped to 3rd as a consequence of a 62 % gross sales lower whereas the latter fell to sixteenth as a consequence of a 68 % drop. Nevertheless, there’s the curious case of Helldivers 2.
Arrowhead Sport Studios’ third-person co-op shooter, launched on February eighth for PS5 and PC, presently ranks fourth, with gross sales up by 20 %. It marks the second week gross sales have gone up, which Dring notes is “very uncommon”, with Simply Dance having an analogous sample. For a title about dropping on alien planets and delivering democracy by way of explosive payload, it’s fairly good.
We’ll learn the way it carried out within the area general when digital gross sales information arrives. Sony hasn’t revealed gross sales numbers, although CEO Johan Pilestedt hinted at it reaching almost three million items bought. Keep tuned for extra updates, and take a look at our evaluation for Helldivers 2.
Within the UK bodily charts, Helldivers 2 is now as much as No.4 with gross sales up 20% in its third week. That’s 2 consecutive weeks of rises (which may be very uncommon). Mario vs Donkey Kong all the way down to No.3 with a (extra unusual) 62% gross sales drop. Cranium and Bones all the way down to No.16 (-68% w-o-w)
