Hitman 3 Takes the Number One Spot in UK Boxed Charts

While Hitman 3 was having a confusing rollout on PC, that didn't seem to kill off the hype for the game. The game has surpassed its predecessor and has claimed the number one spot on the UK boxed charts (via GamesIndustry.biz). Launch sales for the championship were up 17% compared to its predecessor.

Breaking it down further, the PS5 version of the game was the most popular version. It accounted for 49% of sales while the Xbox version of Hitman 3 counted for 27% of sales. The PS4 version made up 25%.

These numbers only have into consideration physical sales. Many copies of Hitman 3 were also purchased digitally and are not reflected in these numbers.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons dropped down to the number two spot. All the same, it should be noted that information technology was only browbeaten by about 800 copies. The sales for Animal Crossing: New Horizons dropped 8% week-on-week. The game has been out for near a year now and it continues to practise monster numbers. Information technology hasn't reached Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in total sales even so, but I retrieve information technology might somewhen surpass it.

Many PS5 titles dropped into the list this week. Spider-Man: Miles Morales jumped upwards 161% and made its way to the number five spot. Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War likewise jumped up 56% with the PlayStation version driving many of those sales. Assassin'due south Creed Valhalla went upward by 7%. However, the PS5 version skyrocketed by 174%.

Finally, Ring Fit Adventure was able to slide its style into the top ten once again. It jumped from the number 10 spot last week to the number seven spot this calendar week. Ever since the global pandemic hit, this game has routinely been hard to discover. I judge plenty of people want to get their exercise in at home.

If you would like to take a wait at the top ten for the calendar week ending January 23, have a look at the chart below provided by GamesIndustry.biz.
