Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon has taken the top spot of the UK boxed charts this week.

Released on August 25, the FromSoftware title sold the most on PS5 (64% of all copies sold). Publisher Bandai Namco told GamesIndustry.bizat Gamescom that Armored Core 6 is a "big step up in the franchise" and hoped it would surpass previous Armored Core games following the increased popularity of FromSoftware titles after Elden Ring's success.

Armored Core 6's debut pushed Mario Kart 8 Deluxe down to No.2, which rocketed to the top of the charts last week due to a price promotion. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom moved back into the Top Three with a 6% increase in sales, while FIFA 23 was at No.4 following a 9% drop in sales week-on-week.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was back in the Top Ten, rising from No.24 to No.6 with a 146% rise in sales. The game is currently part of a PS5 bundle, as is Hogwarts Legacy, which jumped from No.9 to No.5 with a 44% sales increase.

Here is the GfK Boxed Top Ten for this week ending August 26, 2023:

They way they are giving the splits is really weird.

Why would they say it sold 64% on ps5 then just leave the rest out?

Brutally OVER for XboxCels

I think it must smell bad for the rest (PC, PS4, XB1 and XBS).

I think for PC it's expected as this is boxed chart.

That leaves us with 36% for the ps4/xb1/xbs. Unless the ps4 makes up a huge chunk of that 36% and they left out xbox to hide that.

Don't know seems weird, the same outlet also didn't report xbox hardware percentages for europe for july which was weird as well.

Immortals flopped, huh?

Microsoft definitely send that letter to not report their abysmal numbers lol

I loved Elden Ring, but this looks like a shitty ass mech game. I know it’s reviewing well, but it just doesn’t seem like my type of game.

We don't know because that ranking only shows 10 games out of dozens of thousands being sold and only covers 4 days of the game. Months later, specially if its publisher reveals total game sales we'll know it.

I just bought the PS4 physical version because the price was the same as the PS5 version and I get both versions with the PS4 purchase, and the PS4 version is supposed to run better on PS5. Kind of retarded.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

That's low. Usually is in the 70-80% range

 

[Plextorage]

That's low. Usually is in the 70-80% range

Very oftenly combined with PS4, yes.

'Immortals of Aveum debuts at No.21". It covers 5 days. Saturday counts.

65% is lower for PS5 than others multiplaform titles in the past.
That means it sold more than usual in others platforms (PC?).

Pretty much.
But who wants to play that UE5 mess at 720p lol

[Dabaus]

I assume PC is a factor as well? No way xbox sold the remaining 36 percent.

 

[Evilms]

The PS4, XB1 and XBS share the remaining 36% and maybe even the PC, don't forget the " physical " PC version (with steam key inside)

 

[Dabaus]

Anybody remember what the first week elden ring splits were? I wonder if ps5 is slowly creeping up percentages along with PC?
