Last week was one of the biggest of the year in terms of the consumer market, as Black Friday meant that gamers all over the world flocked to the stores to secure a new title at a greatly reduced price. Many games were sold at this annual sales event, and one title went all the way to the top of the UK games box market.
And… Unsurprisingly, it was EA Sports FC 24. During the week of Black Friday, sales of the soccer game increased by 101%, enough to usurp the top spot from Hogwarts Legacy, which has fallen to second place on the list for the last the week.
In third place we find Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, which actually experienced a 30% drop in sales, which is likely due to the fact that the game is newer, meaning that the discounts on the game were not as large as on the other titles . Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 both experienced a minor increase in sales and ended up in fourth and fifth place respectively.
Some of the games that made the biggest impact on Black Friday were Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which saw a whopping 400% increase in sales, which was enough to catapult it into the top ten for the past week. God of War: Ragnarök also had a sales increase of 102%, while F1 23 had a whopping 302% increase.
According to Gamesindustry.biz increased physical game sales on Black Friday in the UK by 7% this year compared to 2022.
