Grand Theft Auto V The restart of Saints Row topped the UK chart, the role-playing game Soul Hackers 2 kicked off in 11th place

The restart of Saints Row hit the top of the UK retail chart last week, reports GamesIndustry. biz with reference to Gfk data.

In terms of disc sales, the new project more than five times exceeded the starting result of Agents of Mayhem, a multiplayer branch of Saints Row, released in 2017.

Comparisons with earlier parts of the main series do not favor the new one, but this does not mean that it is poorly sold — just the percentage of digital downloads today has become very large, and such statistics are not taken into account in the retail chart.

We need to wait for more detailed and official data.

Horizon Forbidden West dropped from number one to number two for the first time in three weeks, even though sales increased by 120% over the reporting period thanks to new bundle shipments from PlayStation 5.

Nintendo Switch exclusives occupied the next five lines in the top ten, and the new role-playing game Soul Hackers 2 from the Japanese company Atlus could only start in 11th place.
