Nintendo Switch Sports is down to No.3 after a mild 1% drop in sales week-on-week. The highest riser this week is also a PS5 game: Gran Turismo 7, which is up five places to No.5 after a 109% sales bump. The game continues to sell strongly alongside PS5 hardware. Last week's No.1, Horizon Forbidden West, drops to No.2 this week after a 33% slide in sales. Also, Xbox game sales tend to be more digital than physical compared with PlayStation, partially because of the Xbox Series S console, which doesn't include a disc drive (the Xbox Series S is currently the best-selling Xbox in the UK).
This might be due to the result of the game's inclusion in the Xbox Game Pass subscription service. Sniper Elite 5 sold mostly on PlayStation in physical form. Of course, the download market has accelerated significantly since 2017 and download data is not included (it arrives later in the week), so this isn't an indicator of the game's overall performance. The game didn't need to sell big numbers to achieve the result, and launch physical sales are 64% lower than Sniper Elite 4, which released in February 2017 (when it reached No.2). Rebellion's Sniper Elite 5 claims No.1 in the UK boxed charts, according to the latest GfK figures.
