Along with tearing apart both new players and hardcore Souls fans this weekend, FromSoftware’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice debuted on top in the UK physical sales charts. Gfk Chart-Track and UKIE revealed that the action adventure title managed to beat out Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 with its debut. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is now the developer’s second title to reach “No. 1 in All Formats” in the UK, with the first being Dark Souls 3, which released in 2016.
Only physical retail sales are included in this chart. Considering that Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice was the biggest launch for Steam this year, it’s given that combined digital and physical retail sales will be higher. For more information on how dastardly Sekiro’s difficulty is, check out GamingBolt’s official review.
The Division 2 fell to second place, so it’s still doing fairly well. FIFA 19 meanwhile managed to move from fourth to third place. Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 occupied the fourth and fifth slots in the chart respectively. Check out the top 10 best-selling games in the UK for the week ending March 23rd below.
