Game sales
2.23 million games were sold in April 2024 in the UK. This is 7% less than the previous year. We should note, that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Dead Island 2 were released in April 2023, and they make the difference.
Fallout 4, amidst the success of the series, became the best-selling game in the UK. Fallout: New Vegas entered at 8th place; Fallout 76 - at 9th; Fallout 3 - at 11th.
Stellar Blade debuted at 12th place on the chart. The game is available exclusively on PlayStation 5.
EA Sports FC 24 (2nd place) and Helldivers II (3rd place) traditionally sell well.
Console sales
In April, 71 thousand consoles were purchased in the UK. The number of systems sold plummeted by 39% YoY.
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X sales decline is approximately the same (-25% YoY); Nintendo Switch fell by 38%.
❗️Here, presumably, GfK refers to a decline in sales in dollar terms.
530k accessories were sold in April - it’s 28% less than the previous month; but 7% more than in April of the previous year. DualSense is the sales leader.
