Rage 2 Ends Days Gone's Reign at the Top of the UK Charts - Sales

Tweet

Despite its incredibly lacklustre critical reception, Rage 2 managed to top the UK charts in week 20. The new release dethrones PlayStation 4 exclusive Days Gone (down 38% this week), which had topped the charts for three weeks running.

However, Rage 2 managed to sell only a quarter of that managed by the original Rage at retail according to GamesIndustry. In terms of platform split, the PS4 accounted for 57% of sales, the Xbox One for 38%, and physical PC copies 5%.

The other new releases this week were A Plague Tale: Innocence, which managed to net 9th position, and Sniper Elite V2 Remastered, which landed just outside the top 10 in 13th position.

The top 10 as a whole was remarkably stable, outside of the two major new releases, although sales across the board were down 30-50% week-on-week.

Here are the top 10 best-selling titles (combined sales):

1. Rage 2
2. Days Gone
3. FIFA 19
4. Mortal Kombat 11
5. Red Dead Redemption 2
6. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
7. Grand Theft Auto V
8. Tom Clancy's The Division 2
9. A Plague Tale: Innocence
10. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

The game got microtransactions so it is a big NO from me

There were quite a lot of Rage 2 ads over here, so I guess they were somewhat effective.
