PS5 stock gives software a leg up
by Stephen Tailby 17 mins ago
Last week, PlayStation 5 consoles sporadically returned to retail in the UK, and that means physical PS5 software has seen a big boost. According to GamesIndustry.biz, sales of boxed PS5 games are up 64 per cent week-on-week. That translates to significantly improved figures for launch titles; Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales rockets back up to second place, while Demon’s Souls, which didn’t chart at all last week, returns at number 21.
The Last of Us: Part II gets an enormous spike in sales thanks to a promotion bringing the price below £20. Up by 3,992 per cent, the PS4 exclusive reaches number three. Meanwhile, new release Persona 5 Strikers debuts in fifth. Evergreen games like FIFA 21 and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War move down the top 10 to make room for these.
Here’s the latest top 10 in full.
