Black Ops 6 Tops UK Charts Despite 10% Drop in Physical Sales

The decline in Xbox physical sales is attributed to the game's inclusion on Game Pass, while PS5 sales remain steady.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 debuts at number one on the UK all-format boxed game charts, despite a 10% drop in physical sales compared to last year’s Modern Warfare 3.
The decline in physical sales is largely due to Xbox users opting for Game Pass, which now includes Black Ops 6 from its launch day.
PS5 dominates physical sales with an 80% share, while Xbox Series X/S accounts for only 12%, reflecting traditional platform preferences.
On PC, Black Ops 6 reached a peak of 306,460 concurrent players on Steam during its launch weekend, although user reviews are mixed due to technical issues.
The impact of Game Pass on digital sales remains to be seen, with digital data yet to be released.
