Whether DOOM: The Dark Ages is going to be able to perform to Microsoft and Bethesda’s commercial expectations in the long run remains to be seen, but the first-person shooter seems to have got off to a decent start as far as physical sales in the UK are concerned. As per charts released by the Gfk, DOOM: The Dark Ages topped the charts for highest selling physical titles in the UK for the week ending May 17.
Joining DOOM: The Dark Ages atop the charts is fellow new release The Precinct. Fallen Tree Games and Kwalee’s old-school GTA-inspired action-adventure title occupies the second place in the charts. Meanwhile, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 sits in eighth place, down from the top spot last week, while Assassin’s Creed Shadows comes in at No. 6, slipping down from fourth place last week.
Interestingly, ten years on from its original release, The Witcher 3 takes the No. 7 spot in the charts with its GOTY Edition, while fellow old horse Grand Theft Auto 5 also continues to figure in the charts, sitting in fifth place. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, meanwhile, comes in at No. 10.
