Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has had a tough launch, from servers being affected upon its already entry launch, to crucial reception being lukewarm at greatest, to not having the ability to entice sufficient of an viewers on Steam. Regardless of that, nonetheless, WB Video games and Rocksteady Studios’ open world looter shooter debuted on prime of final week’s UK charts for bodily gross sales, as shared by GamesIndustry’s Christopher Dring on Twitter.
Trying deeper into the sport’s efficiency, at launch, when it comes to bodily gross sales, it has carried out higher than The Final of Us Half 2 Remastered did within the UK when it launched final month, however “barely” worse than Tekken 8, which debuted on prime of that charts final week. Extra worryingly, nonetheless, its bodily launch numbers are about half of what Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy managed upon its launch in 2021. The latter, despite its crucial acclaim, was decidedly a industrial failure, so the comparability doesn’t bode properly for Suicide Squad.
In the meantime, Persona 3 Reload, which additionally launched final week, has entered the charts at No. 2, and as per Dring, has offered about as many bodily items at launch within the UK as the aforementioned The Final of Us Half 2 Remastered did upon its launch. For a remake in a smaller JRPG franchise, that’s a strong end result, particularly given its spectacular efficiency on Steam.
Needless to say this information covers bodily gross sales solely, so the total extent of how these video games are performing gained’t develop into clearer till digital numbers develop into obtainable later within the week.
