Nintendo Switch games saw an increase in sales week-on-week, in part thanks to a slight £20 price drop on Nintendo Switch consoles. And last week's No.3, NBA 2K22 drops to No.10 after a 41% sales slide. Last week's No.2, Tales of Arise, is down to No.14 after a 70% sales drop. Last week's No.1, Wario Ware: Get It Together, drops to No.8 after a 51% sales fall. There was one other new release in the charts this week, the Nintendo Switch arcade racer Cruis'n Blast, which just about makes it over the line at No.37. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart re-entered the charts at No.4 after a 630% sales spike, while Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut is up 13 places to No.6 after a 233% sales rise. Spider-Man: Miles Morales jumped 223% in sales, rising from No.13 to No.2. Overall, it was a big week for PS5, driven by an influx of new hardware coming to retailers.

It's also worth noting that Deathloop was not released on Xbox platforms, and that its primary console is still in its first year, so it's install base remains low. Bethesda currently does not share digital download data with the charts companies. However, these are only boxed sales, and digital downloading has increased rapidly over the last four years (particularly during the pandemic), so it's highly likely that the game's performance is significantly higher.

In terms of physical sales, it's the weakest selling Arkane game in the developer's history, narrowly behind the performance of 2017's Prey (sales are 5.6% lower). Bethesda's Deathloop is comfortably the best-selling boxed game of the week, according to the latest GfK data.ĩ9% of the game's boxed sales were on PS5 (the remaining 1% on PC).
