Overview

• The PS5 physical release topped this week’s UK boxed chart, according to The Game Business reporting cited by Push Square.
• It outperformed EA Sports FC 26 in retail units and sold roughly three times more than Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 on Switch.
• Physical launch sales were about 40% lower than Ghost of Tsushima’s retail debut, a comparison influenced by Tsushima’s pandemic-era release.
• Analysts note that digital distribution has grown substantially, making boxed sales a smaller share of overall game revenue.
• Sony has not provided global or digital figures for Ghost of Yotei and typically shares sales updates only when first‑party records are set, such as with God of War Ragnarok and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
